Just wondering if any of you are squash or cricket players on here? Do many people play? Would like to find a squash buddy for a game or 2 a week and hopefully a bit of cricket every now.

I'm still trying to organize a team or two in Busan to play Cricket. For Squash, the only place I know of (outside of university gyms) to play is U-Para. There are two U-Para in Busan (one in Seomyeon and the other in Haeundae) and one in Bucheon (near Seoul). The U-Para Squash court has a very low ceiling though.

There are plenty of gyms with squash courts in Seoul. I'd love to play, but haven't ever found an opponent.

Forgot to mention I will be in Seoul. Shall we set up some games? If we have enough players we can make a mini-league type thing. Are you any good? I have only played for just over a year and have never had coaching but I am probably above average Smile

i just landed yesterday and this was one thing I was so wound up about. Would I have to start holding my bat horizontal like a neanderthal or could I play like a gentleman? I'm not much of an athlete but I'd like to know of any more people wouldn't mind having a game of cricket on a sunday afternoon.

I'd definitely be up for a game of cricket (strictly for fun though...haven't held a bat in years)

There are probably around 10 places I know in Busan where you can play squash. I belong to the club near Nampo Dong. If somebody wants to have a game from time to time, it would be fun.
