Our Squash Start course for beginners and improvers continued this evening with an excellent session that concentrated on taking the ball in short.
We warmed up with some cone ball placement routines, focussing on balance, lunging and general good movement.
We then moved on to using the large Dunlop sponge balls to practice the 'soft hands' to effect a good drop shot, followed by coach feeding for drop shots into both front corners. We then progressed further to feeding for a drop to self, followed by a length to the back.
We finished with group 3/4 court game play and full court singles, where the players were able to put their drops into rally winning action.
We look forward to continuing this course and will run further Squash Start sessions before Christmas.

Excellent final Summer Term session for our Junior Squash Academy players.
We focussed on agility, movement and drop shots in today's session, with the players executing some excellent, rally-winning drops in the game play at the end.
These players have been an absolute pleasure to coach and we look forward to continuing their squash development in the Autumn Term.
The workshop focussed on routines to teach good technique and 'soft skills' using engaging and fun methods that mean players learn skills in a natural style.
We welcomed a lovely group of coaches from all over England, including one who had travelled as far as Southampton. All left with loads of new ideas and routines that they can incorporate into their coaching straight away.
Thanks again Tania and Carts and we'd love to host another workshop in the future for sure! ... See MoreSee Less
A fantastic Summer team friendly took place last night at Four Oaks Squash Club. It was a tight match, with us coming out on top by 4 matches to 3
We haven't played here for some time, as they play teams in Warwickshire League, so it was great to return to these courts.
Thanks to Nick Hill, who plays at both clubs, for his brilliant organisation, including organising homemade lasagne for the after match food.
Thanks to all the guys at Four Oaks for some great matches and the hospitality. We look forward to the return match at ours in early/mid September. ... See MoreSee Less
