Miami's First Dedicated Squash Court Club: Sol Squash in Little River

Sol Squash calls itself Miami's first dedicated squash club, and at 645 NW 72nd Street in Little River it is the one place in Miami-Dade where a non-member can book a squash court online, join a coached session or show up for open play. A one-hour court for up to three players costs $120 without a membership, a solo hour costs $60, and the very first lesson is $39. If your search for a squash court near me in Miami has turned up only private clubs and university gyms, this is the answer.

The founders are Bruna Marchesi Petrillo and Vini Rodrigues, a married couple who, according to the club, both represented Brazil and competed on the PSA World Tour before deciding Miami needed a modern home for the sport. In an April 2026 interview with Squash Magazine, Bruna described coming to squash through Vini, after a youth spent playing volleyball, including for her university team while studying in London.

They did not want to copy a traditional members-only club. Bruna told the magazine that Miami's strong Latin American community made the city feel like a natural fit, and that one of the surprises since opening was how many experienced squash players already lived in the city but had nowhere to play. The club's FAQ promises you will find the founders coaching sessions, playing matches and meeting members every day, which is unusual at a club of any size.

The building holds five squash courts, a gym, a sauna, a cold plunge, showers, a café, a lounge and coworking space, so a game can stretch into an afternoon. The club has its own parking lot for players, with extra street parking along NW 72nd Street, and sits just off Interstate 95, so driving in from Brickell, Midtown or the northern suburbs is straightforward outside rush hour.

Hours run Monday to Thursday from 6am to 10pm, Friday from 6am to 5pm, and Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 5pm. Note the early Friday close: a Friday-evening game, a common habit at Northeast clubs, is not possible here. Everything runs on bookings, so check the live schedule at book.solsquash.com before driving over; walk-ins without a reservation are discouraged.

The club lists every price in a member and non-member column. Non-members pay $120 for a one-hour court booking with up to three players, which works out to $60 each for two or $40 each for three, or $60 for a solo hour to practice alone. Open Play, a three-hour social mixer the staff runs, costs $55. Coached group sessions, including Drills and Matches, Clinics and Women Play, cost $55 per hour.

Non-member private lessons cost $145 an hour. Five-packs bring the price down: $250 for five open play sessions or five group sessions, and $725 for six private lessons, paying for five. Packages are valid for two months, or three for lessons. All prices are listed before taxes and fees.

For someone who has never played, the best deal is the first lesson: 30 minutes, one-on-one with Bruna or Vini, for $39, any level and any age, one per person. The club provides the racket, so you only need non-marking shoes and clothes you can sweat in. After that first session, private lessons cost $125 for members and $145 for visitors.

Experienced players can also book Bruna or Vini to play rather than teach. The club says to book a private session and ask for a game instead of a lesson, at the same rate. For a visiting club player, a hard game against a former tour professional is a good way to spend an hour on a rainy afternoon in Miami.

The club makes the argument openly on its pricing page: two non-member court bookings cost $240, and a month of Sol Club costs $239 plus taxes. That membership includes one hour of court time every day at any time, with extra hours at $20 a player, plus the sauna, plunge, showers, a monthly guest pass, free racket rental and free league entry. The annual rate is $2,629, and there is no initiation fee.

Our verdict: if you play twice a month or more, join; if you are in town for a week, book open play rather than courts, because the staff runs the mixer, you do not need to bring a partner, and the $55 covers three hours. Winter visitors can message the club about a seasonal arrangement.

Sol Junior, for ages seven to sixteen, costs $179 a month and includes seven group sessions coached by the founders. Sessions run on Wednesday and Thursday at 5pm, Saturday at 9:30am and Sunday at 2pm. Mini Squash, for ages four to seven, meets on Thursday at 4:15pm and Sunday at 1:15pm for 45 minutes. Non-member juniors can drop in for $55 per session.

Junior sessions take courts in the late afternoon on weekdays, so adults planning a weekday booking should aim for the morning or after 6pm Monday through Thursday.

Little River is a low-rise neighborhood of warehouses and workshops just north of Little Haiti, and the club's converted space fits right in. The Little Haiti Cultural Complex at 212 NE 59th Terrace hosts exhibitions and events a short drive south, and the Miami Design District, with its outdoor sculptures and flagship stores, is about ten minutes south on I-95 or Biscayne Boulevard.

If Sol is fully booked, there is no real public alternative in Miami-Dade. The squash courts at the University of Miami's Herbert Wellness Center in Coral Gables are limited to students, staff, alumni and their sponsored guests. Your backup is simply a different time slot, so open the booking calendar a few days ahead rather than on the morning you want to play.
