The first step is to enrol onto the England Squash Level 1 Participation Coach Award (Online) which qualifies and insures coaches to deliver junior squash, squash and squash 57 independently to groups of beginners.

We also offer Level 2 and Level 3 awards where you'll practice coaching, complete an element of home study and be formally assessed via written and/or practical assessments.

Chat to people in your squash club, your team or a squash coach. You'll need to have a reasonable knowledge and understanding of the game coupled with plenty of patience and enthusiasm!

Read a book on squash, watch some matches, learn the rules and practice your refereeing at team matches.

Chat to a professional coach or club coach or ask if you can watch some lessons so you can see how they're structured.

There's a lot of information in the Level 1 and it will help you to deliver group activities as a coach.

Coach education is an ongoing process and after becoming qualified you should always reflect on your delivery.
