| Equinox has taken over Printing House
In Dec 2010, Equinox took over the
Printing House Fitness & Squash Club, closing the club's five squash courts. This was a tremendous loss for the 250+ club players, West Village residents, and the New York squash community overall.

League Matches
New York Squash is committed to helping the eight Printing House league teams finish their season at other clubs.
League Captains, if the majority of your team joins a particular club, email the League Chairs and we can work with the club pros to schedule your "home" matches there for January-April.
Building a New Club
A group of Printing House players has mobilized to raise money and identify potential locations to build new squash courts. They are looking for a location in the West Village or Tribeca.
