Womens Squash Festival: A Celebration of Community & Opportunity

The 2025 Women’s Squash Festival was a fantastic showcase of energy, talent and community. Held at the National Squash Centre during International Women’s Squash Week, it brought together women and girls of all ages and abilities to share the court, learn from top coaches and be part of something special.

From fun coaching sessions and team play to inspiring workshops and stalls, the festival captured exactly what squash can offer: connection, confidence and joy. As highlighted by the Squash United Foundation, festivals like this are key to creating pathways that keep more women in the game – whether playing, coaching, or leading.

Girls in Motion are proud to have delivered this landmark event, supported by professionals from across the sports industry – from elite athletes to coaches, physiotherapists and equipment providers – all of whom contributed their expertise and services to make squash more accessible, welcoming and inspiring for women and girls.
