ENTRIES OPEN FOR MATCHPOINT #39 KENDAL OPEN

KENDAL may be the gateway to the Lake District, and a beautiful historic market town in its own right . . . But more importantly, it’s also your gateway to squash glory this summer.

The Matchpoint Express is rocking and rolling into the Cumbrian market town on Saturday, September 12th - a perfect date for all squash fanatics to fine-tune their game and perfect their fitness (ahem!) ahead of the new season.

With all three courts in action throughout the day, this event is a great chance to blow away those summer holiday cobwebs and get back to your lean machine best (stop laughing at the back).

Matchpoint’s fifth-ever Cumbrian event promises to be a cracker, with a warm welcome guaranteed from players and spectators alike. It’s our 26th new host club and our 39th event in England (& Scotland)!

With a 44-player limit at this small but perfectly formed club, entries will be at a premium as the new season warm-up gets underway - so don’t delay . . .

Some sports take months to feel rewarding. Racketball hooks you in after the very first session🔥

That’s a huge part of why Racketball is growing so quickly across the UK. The bigger ball keeps the game flowing for longer, making it easier to learn, more enjoyable from day one, and addictive once you get going

At Kendal Squash & Racketball Club, we’re seeing players of all ages and experience levels stepping onto court, building confidence, and finding a sport they genuinely look forward to each week 🙌

Fancy trying it for yourself?

Some days, you walk onto court carrying the weight of a bad day. Then in less than an hour, after a few good rallies, a laugh between points, and a solid run around, things feel lighter 🔆

It’s not just about competition or fitness. It’s about switching off for a while, being around a great community, and leaving with a clearer head than when you arrived.

There’s real science behind why that happens too. Fast paced exercise like squash and racketball increases blood flow to the brain and triggers the release of endorphins and dopamine, chemicals linked to improved mood, focus, and reduced stress. 🧠

The intensity of the game also forces your brain to stay present, tracking the ball, reacting quickly, and concentrating on the rally instead of everything else going on outside the court.

A good rally really can reset a bad day 💛

Mental Health Awareness Month 🧠

Staying active can play an important role in supporting our mental wellbeing. From reducing stress and improving focus, to building confidence and creating social connection, even small amounts of regular movement can make a real difference.

Squash and racketball are not only great forms of exercise, they’re also a chance to switch off from the pressures of everyday life, challenge yourself, and enjoy being part of a supportive community.

At Kendal Squash & Racketball Club, we’re proud to provide a welcoming environment for players of all ages and abilities, whether you’re returning to sport or stepping onto court for the very first time.

This carousel takes a closer look at some of the ways physical activity can positively support mental health throughout everyday life.

We hope to see you soon! 💛
