Squash Coaching

Our squash coach, Lisa McKenna, is available for private and group coaching for members and non-members.

“I’m super excited to let you know that I have a six week beginners /  intermediate squash coaching course starting on Monday (see Events & Calendar page for block start dates) throughout the year from 6.00-7.00 which will cost £55.00 in total (plus a £2.50 fee each week for non-members) for this block of lessons. This will be suitable for lower league players.  On the course we will cover basic shots, movement & technique as well as playing games and going through shot selection.  The sessions will be good fun and varied and will be a great way to meet other players of a similar ability. If you would like to attend but cant make every session then I will be able to combine this with an individual session.

Footwear Notice

To prevent marking the floors or bringing in dirt please use non-marking, indoor-use shoes only.

Squash Rules & Turning

Ext Link: World Squash Rules  NB: Dean recommend the “Alternative Scoring System” (detailed in Appendix 3) point-a-rally to 15, rather than 11.

Ext Link: Scottish squash: “Turning, Blocking, Created Interference and Minimal Interference”

Ext Link: Squash Magazine “all about turning”

“It’s a LET if there was a reasonable fear of the ball striking the non-striker providing the striker could have made a good return.”

“TIP: When your opponent has hit the typical wide shot (often as a serve) that usually leads to a turning action, be alert for it and DON’T follow it around. Quickly back away from it towards the middle, keeping it on the same side of your body. This avoids the ‘turning’ movement, forcing your opponent to back away to stay clear—thus opening up the entire court for you to drive it back into the same corner.”
