WAT IS HET GLOBAL SQUASH FESTIVAL?

Het Global Squash Festival in Amsterdam brengt spelers van over de hele wereld samen. We nodigen je uit om onderdeel te zijn van iets bijzonders: samen bouwen we aan een internationale squashcommunity in Amsterdam en laten we zien hoe mooi de sport is wanneer spelers uit verschillende landen elkaar op de baan ontmoeten.

Spelers strijden om World Graded Championship-titels binnen hun eigen niveau, wat zorgt voor competitieve en gelijkwaardige wedstrijden gedurende het hele evenement.

Open voor spelers van 18+ van elk niveau, combineert het festival wedstrijden met on-court sessies, Q&A’s met topspelers en ontmoetingen buiten de baan. Een unieke ervaring waar competitie, beleving en verbinding samenkomen.

GOOD GAMES GUARANTEED.

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.

UNIQUE SQUASH EXPERIENCES.

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.

Welkom - Team NL

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.
