Squash for schools

Squash is an exciting and physical sport that develops movement skills, improves speed and agility whilst building social skills such as working co-operatively and showing good sportsmanship.

"Squash is phenomenal, it is really fun and I enjoy it because you learn things every week" - Soni, Hanover Primary School

Schools are extremely important to the development of squash and igniting a lifelong involvement in the sport. There are a number of ways that squash can be introduced to school children:

Squash in your school

Squash can be delivered in any setting at any time of the year. We can train your staff to deliver squash at your school or put you in touch with your local squash club or county association who can deliver it for you.
