About the Dalhousie Squash Club

The Dalhousie Squash Club (DSC) operates out of Dalplex, the athletics facility for Dalhousie University, located in Halifax, Nova Scotia. We are the largest formal club in Atlantic Canada, annually boasting (squash humour) more than 80 members.  Besides having regular reserved club hours for members, we also organize the largest (often with more than 100 players) and possibly the oldest squash tournament in the maritimes.

Club Activities

Club member court times: drop-in play

Club court times are a chance for members to drop in and pick up matches with other members.  When you arrive, put your club tag in the next available position on the circular board.  When a court becomes available, choose a partner from the other tags up to three places behind you on the board.  Put both of your tags on the hook for the court you will play on.  Matches are always 3 games (not best of 3, but 3 total), using the PAR-11 scoring system.

Starts: all year round

• Tuesday 5:30pm-7:30pm (courts 1,2, & 4)
• Thursday 5:30pm-7:30pm (courts 1,2 & 4)
