After a few squash games I started to lose interest buy my friend, who’s a very avid sportsman, wanted to keep me playing. He convinced me to change location. I told him I’d try it.
Bad idea.
This place is fine and all, and it’s very noble of the staff to volunteer, but it gets way too hot. It’s not comfortable exercising in this sort of heat. And I know exercise isn’t meant to be comfortable, but I find I’m less inclined to do my best when I’ve already been warn out by the temperature.
I think I’ll be returning to my other centre.

I wondered where all the squash players in Adelaide were hiding… they’re all here. Well most of them anyway. Many volunteering, South Adelaide Squash Centre is run entirely by volunteers. Pretty darn impressive considering the hours they keep.
It’s a brick building, ugly as sin, but inside is a well kept five court facility, equipped with showers, spectator seating… Feeling on top of your game? Hire court #1, the ‘fish bowl’ with a glass back and the lobby behind. Court #5 is a nice pick, it’s at the back where there’s a door upstairs that opens up to let out the hot air. Beyond the far wall of court #5 is a smallish lawn, a good place to catch your breath.
A main attraction of the game is the potential for a regulated climate to exercise in for those 35°+ days. Unfortunately there’s no air-​con here. So cowboy up on a hot day. It’ll open up your pores.
Make a booking. Normally the cost is $ 10/​hr per person to play. Balls provided. Happy hour squash happens on Friday’s from 4pm ($ 5 per person). It’s been my experience they aren’t sticklers if your play goes a little longer, given the court’s free. There’s social and competitive squash happening. Sound interesting? Enquire at the front desk.
Sometimes the parking lot is too small, not to worry, there’s plenty of parking on the quiet street.
Raice at the front desk always calls me ‘John.’ I call her ‘Grace.’
