Matches are graded using the SquashLevels system, so you compete against players of a similar standard. Whether you’re playing for pride or points, every match is competitive and every rally matters.
A full program of sessions with top players and experts, exhibition matches, and conversations that bring you closer to the game. Evenings continue with hosted dinners and social gatherings across the city.
Set in Amsterdam, the festival extends beyond the court. Between matches, explore canals, museums, and vibrant streets, with a selection of quality hotels and optional city experiences throughout the week.

Learn from England’s No. 2, Jonah Bryant, how to hit the perfect length — one of the most important shots in squash.
In this on-court session, you’ll break down technique, timing, and control, with a clear focus on consistency and precision. Then step up for the challenge: a length-only rally against Jonah. No winners — just control from the back of the court.
