National Squash Centre

Fantastic experience: Probably the best squash courts Manchester, staff were friendly and prices were reasonable. Would highly recommended for anyone looking for a decent court

Fantastic experience: Clean new modern. Good courts for squash. Water available.

Fantastic experience: Nice facility

Negative experience: Bad

Fantastic experience: Very large running track allows for a good cardio workout Holiday events are nice

Positive experience: The national squash centre is located on the Etihad Campus (Sport City), which is famously on the same site as Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. For those that are interested in contemporary history; the campus was built to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games and now provides a legacy for English sports. Many are headquartered on the site. . The gem in the squash centre's crown is its permanent full glass show court, which includes tiered seating and 360 viewing. The court is a real treat for squash fans as it provides the best viewing experience in the north west. . Having visited the centre on several occasions for junior squash tournaments, it's worth pointing out that the centre has a bit of a different feel to your typical squash club. It's very well suited to large events where you play multiple matches at the same time. Surrounding the show court, there are six additional 'standard' courts that include a single glass frontage. This, again, provides a good viewing experience for spectators (and parents!). The venue also benefits from a great deal of space to access the courts so it's perfect for those with restricted accessibility. . With the exception of the glass show court, all the standard courts are constructed using fabricated walls that can be removed from the venue to create different spaces. These courts do take a little getting used to as the ball makes a different sound when struck against them. . The changing facilities and WC facilities are modern and spacious and are some of the best squash club facilities in the local area. . A great facility to have in Manchester and always enjoyable to visit.

Positive experience: Played some squash. Its having a refurb done, so be good to see it done up

Negative experience: Absolute Rubbish!!!! It should not be difficult to book a squash court, but have tried for the past four days to do this. Issues with the website not working, rang their customer service on four occasions to get updates back from them and their duty manager to contact me direct. Nothing has happened! it should not be this difficult, sort yourselves out!!!

Fantastic experience: Great squash courts and lovely staff

Fantastic experience: Life saver

Fantastic experience: Good

Positive experience: Working on a set up of an event

Fantastic experience: I ran the Manchester Open Graded squash tournament at the NSC on the weekend just gone and was blown away by how great the facilities were and how friendly and accommodating the staff were! They opened earlier than usual to allow us to get set up and were fantastic all day, even extending the opening hours of the bar to allow players watching the finals at the end to enjoy a drink whilst they did so! A true credit to squash and I only wish I lived in Manchester!! Keep up the great work guys!!

Fantastic experience: My 7yr old attended a Virtual Squash Party. It was brilliant. Kids had a fantastic time. Played so many many arcade games but the kids were the ones throwing the balls, eg Space Invaders. As Aliens came down kids threw the ball at the screen as if they were the battleship missiles. It was a great event and a good way for active kids to release energy There is a big indoor running track and things you can do. Friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience: Glass court was class. Very warm and bright

Fantastic experience: Brilliant venue

Positive experience: Lovely place to play squash

Fantastic experience: Some great squash today, good venue as always

Positive experience: Love the squash centre, it's clean, good temperature, nice staff and good facilities. Downsides, showers aren't currently open due to covid but even when they are it's open showers, put some dividers up at least please for a bit of privacy. New feature which is awesome! Projector and cameras has been added to one of the courts, you can book that court and play games against the wall e.g. Something that looked like space invaders, you hit the ball at the spaceships and they would be "shot down" great fun and a clever idea to help people practice on their own

Fantastic experience: Great place for playing squash 6 side courts and a main all glass centre court

Fantastic experience: Top place to train as well as spectate. New track looks mint (well blue) and center manager Craig is really accomodating.

Fantastic experience: 7 top squash courts, 1 all surround glass court(show court)

Fantastic experience: National squash centre. Say no more...

Negative experience: I would’ve given 5 stars if not for the lady who works in the cafe. She rudely asked my 9 year old daughter to hurry up with her order and within the space of a second she’d moved adults ahead of her in the que. My daughter didn’t get her food as a result and was left feeling sad because of the aggressive treatment that she’d been subjected to. The 2 stars are for the great squash that we saw.

Fantastic experience: Difficult to get courts for most time slots but the courts are quality and booking online is easy

Positive experience: great facilities!

Fantastic experience: Great place

Fantastic experience: Great facility, very reasonably priced courts

Positive experience: Ok

Positive experience: I lost

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility well price squash courts

Positive experience: The place has great facilities. I come here at least twice a year to play a squash tournament. But everytime I've come, the cafe is always closed halfway through the day!!! That means we have to walk very far to get food. And then there are the days Man City are hosting a football match. They don't allow anyone into the cafe area AT ALL.

Positive experience: Great place to play Squash and enjoy the atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Well maintained courts. Friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Seven quality courts and great facilities

Fantastic experience: Home of squash in Manchester and in the UK.

Positive experience: Functional facility that lets you play squash, could do more to make you feel part of a "club".

Positive experience: 6 glass back courts and 1 all glass showcase court parking a bit limited, entrance tucked away gate 13! 2nd right after the main entrance to stadium

Fantastic experience: Been here many times to watch pro squash - fantastic. never tried to book but if the courts are crammed with national squad players I am encouraged .. we need to build up our top players because the Egyptians are leaving us behind!!

Negative experience: Almost imposible to book court by phone because nobody is answering l, and there is no space because british national team is training all the time

Fantastic experience: Squash is the best sport in the world

Fantastic experience: 6 glass backed courts and one all glass showcourt all available to be booked by the public.

Positive experience: Great facilities, though it can be very tricky to book weekday evenings - like buying Glastonbury tickets! The open nights are good, but it would be good to see some female-only sessions at accessible times for people who work in the city.
