Young people
Engaging more young people in squash is a key area for many clubs. In this section you can find resources and guidance on young people's attitudes and behaviours to help you shape programmes at your venue.
Under the Skin
Under the Skin is research conducted by Sport England into the different attitudes and motivations amongst young people (ages 14-25) towards sport and physical activity.
The research found the common reasons why young people take part were to stay fit, to have fun, and to stay healthy but there were other reasons amongst different groups of young people. The research gives tips on how to engage young people in your activities and how to keep them coming back.
UK Coaching resources
UK Coaching have further developed video resources and guidance based on the findings from the Under the Skin research.
What makes your session unmissable?
Young people are seeking meaningful experiences and need a reason to come back each week. Not all young people are the same; they want experiences that are tailored to them.
What motivates young people to be active?
The most common reasons young people gave when asked why they take part in physical activity included: to meet new people, hang out with friends, get in shape, be healthy, for fun and enjoyment, and learn new skills.
