Coaching

Ipswich Sports CLub is advertising for new head and Assistant Pros after Arthur Gaskin's decision to go back on the pro tour. Click here for the Head Pro and Assistant Pro advertisments.

There is a 2 day racketball coaching course at Harrow Leisure Centre on 28th and 29th January. This would qualify you to coach racketball. This is aimed at people who are new to coaching, or have come from coaching a different sport. The cost is £160 (+ £35 coach licence fee). For further information please e-mail.

Please see the following from Mark Williams, Senior Regional Manager, about two vitally important coaching events.

1) The National Coaching Awards

These awards are basically 'the Oscars' for squash coaches and the only award ceremony specifically organised to highlight the great work of squash coaches around the country. To make the event relevant, it is imperative that we have a good number of nominations in every category and I am particularly keen to see as many of our top coaches from the East Region nominated as possible.

Of course, if you have someone in mind yourself, please take the time to put their name forward, this is a rare opportunity to say 'thank you'!

The closing date is fast approaching, 30th November, so please act quickly.

2) The National Coaching Conference

Last year the Conference was a great success and those that attended got a lot out of it. We are doing well for numbers this year but there are still a few places remaining for any coach looking to learn and improve! The cost includes a free ticket to the Coaching Awards Dinner, food, accomodation and all resources and workshops.

All interested coaches should contact louise.pickford@englandsquashandracketball.com to book their place.

Please get in touch if you have any queries - they will be pleased to help:
