Junior Coaching

In this ever-changing world I thought it would be best firstly to let you all know what restrictions are still in place for squash.  I’m pleased to tell you that the only restrictions remaining are the amount of players allowed per court (6 for juniors and 4 for adults).  Although there is not much in the way of restrictions, it will remain important to be covid safety aware and maintain good hand hygiene. 

In addition to the group sessions which are back up and running, both juniors and adults can book one to one coaching sessions.  If you would like to book individual lessons, please contact Adam directly and I can arrange. 

Please see the Junior timetable below for the next half term commencing 7^th June 2021 before the summer break.  I will also be running summer courses and will publish these dates/ times as soon as these have been finalised.

Player members will need to continue to book in advance and pay online per session.  All session fee costs are priced at £6.00 with the exception of the Elites which remain at £10.

If you wish to pay up front for the seven weeks up to the summer holidays the costs are £42 or for the Elites £70. Alternatively, I’m happy for those that want to, to ‘Pay As You Go’ and, in this case, I would ask that you let me know, sign-up basically, so I can confirm the viability of all respective sessions (I will be in touch if this is not the case).  However, you may be aware that some junior sessions have proved to be very popular and, as we have limited numbers, please confirm your place as soon as possible.

(Note: an attendance register is maintained so Up Front payers can apply for a discount on future term payments).

Adult Coaching

Following the fantastic news from Sport England a couple of weeks ago that squash clubs can reintroduce full court squash for adults and juniors, squash activity around the country is picking up with players getting back on court with multiple households to play full court games of squash without any squash bubble restrictions. The maximum number of players on court allowed are 4 adults or children or, where sessions are coach led, 4 adults or 6 children. The link below takes you to the England Squash Guidance and the protocols for Play Safe, Stay Safe.
