Squash turns first-time acquaintances into friends.
Biz Squash is a corporate networking event designed to create moments where participants can sweat it out chasing a ball on the court after work, and find themselves laughing with others by the end of the session.
Through the shared experience of squash, relationships different from those in the office can be nurtured.
Be-Win Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture, Representative Director: Machiko Miyagijima) will hold the first "Biz Squash" corporate networking event utilizing squash on Friday, July 31, 2026, at Be-Win Squash Club Ariake in Ariake, Tokyo.
Be-Win, celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026, will leverage its squash popularization expertise to provide an enjoyable experience for companies.
The first event is seeking 6 companies to participate in this new initiative.
"Enjoyment from Day One" Born from Squash
Squash is a sport originating in the UK, played with rackets and balls in an indoor court surrounded by four walls. Its biggest feature is that "you can enjoy rallies from the first day you start playing."
Specifically for Biz Squash, we use balls that are slower and bounce more than usual, allowing everyone to play on the court under the same conditions, regardless of sports or squash experience. By gradually transitioning to official balls according to the participants' skill level, they can naturally step into the world of authentic squash one step at a time.
A New Option: "Inter-Company Exchange with Sports as a Common Language"
Squash is an international sport played by approximately 20 million people in 185 countries and regions worldwide. Domestically, the number of competitive players is estimated at 100,000, with about 300,000 enthusiasts. It is spreading nationwide as a lifelong sport that can be enjoyed at a speed suitable for each individual's ability, regardless of age or gender.
Biz Squash is not just a sports experience event. It is designed as a venue that participating companies can utilize according to their respective objectives.
As an opportunity to promote employee health
As a team-building session that transcends departments and job titles
As a catalyst for creating new connections and business development with other companies
Squash was ranked first in a "Healthiest Sport in the World" survey by Forbes magazine in 2003, making it suitable for those who want to get a good workout even with limited time on weekday evenings.
Our company has a track record of incorporating squash into corporate training, so you can participate with peace of mind.
Now Recruiting for the First Event
Biz Squash is looking for 6 companies to start this new initiative together for its first event. By keeping the group size small, we have limited it to a scale that ensures deep interaction among participating companies. Participation in the first event is free.
We look forward to meeting company representatives who wish to "create opportunities to connect with the outside world within their own company" on the court.
A Company That Has Been Creating "Enjoyment from Day One" for 25 Years is Taking Action
Since its establishment in 2001, Be-Win has operated squash schools and event businesses in the Tokyo metropolitan area with the philosophy of "delivering a daily life with squash to many people." In 2025, we introduced portable squash courts for the first time in Japan, which have been deployed mainly in commercial facilities, with over 1,300 people having experienced them to date. The design expertise that has transformed squash into a "sport that can be enjoyed from day one" will now be applied to corporate networking.
Furthermore, we have produced numerous national team players from our junior development programs, continuing to support both the strengthening and popularization of competitive squash.
Comment from Machiko Miyagijima, Representative Director of Be-Win Co., Ltd.
We wanted to popularize squash in Japan. For that, schools are essential. With this thought, our company was founded, and many people have enjoyed squash so far.
To further expand the circle of squash, we have now prepared a program for companies.
We aim to start with a small circle and gradually expand it, working to change the current situation of "I've heard of squash" to a common phrase of "Squash is fun, isn't it?" We look forward to your participation, despite your busy schedules.
