About Us

Chasing Perfection, One Nick at a Time

Squash isn’t just a game—it’s a lifestyle. It's an incredibly competitive game, recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). While its roots date back to the 1830s, Philadelphia gave squash its first true U.S. home, founding the world’s first national squash association in 1904. At Good Nick Squash, we honor this legacy while shaping the future.

With over 25 years of coaching expertise, our directors—Narelle Krizek, Rob Krizek deliver world-class training that combines passion, precision, and performance. Here, we don’t just play squash—we live it, one perfect nick at a time.

The Story Behind Good Nick

From a table in Maryland to courts around the world, Good Nick was born – a name inspired by perfection on the court and the Aussie spirit of fitness. It’s more than a name; it’s a mindset to be your absolute best.

The Inspiration

One night, in our home in Havre de Grace, Maryland, we sat around the table, dreaming of a new venture. We’d been approached to coach the squash teams at the Lawrenceville School and start a club at their facility. And so, an idea began to take shape…

Why “Good Nick”? The Squash Shot

In squash, the ‘Nick’ is the ultimate shot – when the ball hits the perfect spot where the floor meets the sidewall. It’s unreturnable. It’s a winner. And what better name for a squash academy than one that represents precision, perfection, and the pursuit of the best?

“Good Nick” as an Aussie Phrase

For Narelle, growing up in Australia, ‘Good Nick’ had another meaning – being in great shape. Squash demands exactly that. As the hardest cardiovascular racquet sport in the world, being fit, agile, and in Good Nick isn’t just an advantage – it’s essential.

The Name Comes Together

And there it was – Good Nick Squash was born in 2009. Inspired by the perfection of the Nick shot and the Aussie spirit of fitness, we created a place where players could strive for their best. (And no, it’s not named after a person – but yes, Rob still gets emails addressed to ‘Nick’!)
