Coaching

England over 40's international player Linda Winder is the resident club coach, qualified by England Squash to level 3.  Available for coaching daytime or evening, she offers up to the minute technique and tactics, through her continued participation on the English Masters Squash circuit, as well as continuing her academic work with England Squash.

All Standards

All levels of ability are catered for with her coaching, either individually, or as a group session, and many of the best juniors currently playing within the club have benefited from her input at some stage.  School children at all the local primary and junior schools have learned the basics at the club sessions provided, and currently squash is provided by her and the club on the secondary school curriculum during P.E lessons.

Junior Development

Junior development is at the heart of club coaching, and if the rewards being gathered by the more adventurous players on the national squash sanctioned competition circuit are any judge of its value, then it is time well spent with our club coach.  Additional to this countrywide success, many county champions have been produced, as well as our juniors making up many of the team members of the various boys and girls successful Inter-County squads.

Free to all junior members on a Monday are the club's squash development coaching sessions, these are:

• 3.30pm Fundamentals for beginners, age 4 yrs to 8yrs
• 4.15pm Beginners group, age 6yrs to 13 yrs
• 5.00pm Intermediate group, age 11yrs to 16yrs
• 5.45pm Elite group, age 13yrs to 19yrs

Squash Coaching Camps

As well as ongoing seasonal coaching and training, Summer squash coaching camps featuring Linda and England Squash level 3 or 4 guest coaches are provided, not just for juniors from within the local area but also open to all county juniors, as well as from counties further afield. These camps contain advice on technique, tactics, movement, nutrition, etc. along with explaining the requirements mentally to enable juniors to progress.
