Great to get our after-school squash programme underway today at King Edward VI School.

We had a fantastic first session with a group of Year 9 and 10 students, led by coaches Luke and James, with support from the school’s PE team.

After an introduction to the game, including court layout, rules and safety, the group quickly got into the basics of grip and swing, before putting it all into practice with some conditioned rallies and three-quarter court games.

It was great to see such enthusiasm and willingness to learn, with everyone making excellent progress in a short space of time. The students were disappointed at having to come off court at the end!

A big thank you to King Edward VI School, Lichfield for their support in making this happen. We’re looking forward to building on this over the coming weeks and introducing more young players to the sport.

If your child is interested in getting involved in squash, feel free to get in touch to find out more about our junior sessions at Lichfield Squash Club.

After defeats in the inaugural Staffordshire Squash Team Cup last week, Lichfield Squash Club and Tamworth Squash & Racketball Club were both at a loose end this evening so we were invited by Tamworth for a friendly at theirs.

We decided to try a different format with 4 v 4 in Point Pursuit, where each match is 3 games in duration, with every point won counting to a team total. There are also bonus points for every game won.

This adds a different dimension as there's always something to fight for.

Action is well underway and 'tune in' later for the results once the numbers are crunched...

Court Safety Reminder – Please Read

Squash is a fast and exciting sport, but it also relies on good awareness and safe play on court.

Following a small number of recent head and facial injuries and several near misses, we’ve issued some guidance for players to help keep everyone safe while enjoying the game.

Our safety update covers:

• Personal space awareness on court
• When to stop play if unsure
• Swing technique and control
• Understanding lets and strokes
• The importance of proper eye protection
• Why ordinary glasses are not suitable for squash
• Reminder that eye protection is compulsory for juniors

We will also soon be announcing new coaching opportunities aimed at helping players improve technique, movement and spatial awareness — all of which contribute to safer play.
