Squash (Medics)
ICSM Squash is for you! Whether you are a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, we welcome everyone: guys, girls…even IC (just ask our Mathematician treasurer).
Join ICSM squash if you want to play an exciting, high-intensity game (you can burn up to 1000 calories in an hour of squash) that is for all shapes and sizes. It is the perfect stress-relieving game. Located just a stone’s throw away from our beloved Reynolds building, and for the cheap price of £2 per session, it is the ideal sport to fit into a busy university life.
We practice every Wednesday and Sunday at 2.15pm until 4:30pm with 4 courts available for use at the Charing Cross Sports Club. Whatever your standard you’ll be assured a good game. If you do not have your own equipment or footwear, do not despair as we provide everything you need for free. It is a relaxed atmosphere, but for those of you with a competitive side, we will hold a year round squash ladder, where the faster you sign up, the higher you will start. Once again, all standards are encouraged to sign up, as competition is a great way to improve fast. On Sundays, there will be training for those who want it, as well as the chance to play casually or for the ladder.
ICSM squash also has a strong men’s and women’s team that competes in the ULU leagues. Captained by Syed Taha and Roz Hawkes respectively, we are looking for the best Imperial has to offer so that we can represent ICSM proudly! Keep your eyes peeled for information on tryouts.
Our socials will be after our Wednesday session, lead by our vodka and vinegar drinking Sam Tindall, with the focus on actual socialising rather than drinking games. They will be held weekly at nearby pubs and restaurants and are for drinkers and non-drinkers alike. In addition, we attend the larger Reynolds events, such as Centurion and the main sports nights, in full voice with renditions such as ‘We will Squash you’ (to the tune of Queen’s ‘We will rock you’).
So, if any of this sounds appealing to you, come along to our stall at Freshers’ Fayre and a free squash session and see for yourself why ISCM squash is for you.
