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.
If you have further queries or indeed would like to book then please e-mail me via thedeanclubedinburgh@gmail.com
Kind Regards, Lisa”
