Keep calm and squash on! How squash players around the country are staying entertained

With the country in lockdown and squash courts empty, it would be easy to leave your racket gathering dust in the corner. Instead, players across the country have been getting hugely creative at home to keep the squash spirit alive.

From wardrobes to conservatories, players have been finding squash opportunities in every corner of their homes...

Got a wardrobe? Got a squash racket? Got a squash ball? Then get playing #WardrobeSquash! Let us know how long you can rally for! Go! ????@englandsr @Scottish_Squash @sqwales @PSAWorldTour #racketlon #4rackets1sport #squash #SquashChallenge #StayAtHome pic.twitter.com/96aIHbkixq

With some going one step further to resurrect courts in their back garden!

Love this! Our club member Ian Bloomfield built back garden court for talented #squash player sons Jack & Harry. #Cheltenham @Bloomers99 @englandsr @WorldSquashDay @GlosLiveOnline pic.twitter.com/k5lzKxHbCB

King of the Trickshots and England pro Daryl Selby has developed a training game – dubbed Bog Roll Bullseye – to keep his eye in during isolation:

BOG ROLL BULLSEYE!!! ?? . . . Whilst everyone was doing home workouts I spent a busy evening creating something very special to go alongside these physical exercises! Whilst at home us squash players also need to keep our eye in and what better way than Bog Roll Bullseye?! . . It’s the new fun game everyone is talking about! Take a toilet roll, place it somewhere solid facing you and then stand 7 racket lengths away. Hit the squash ball into the ?? roll! ??Simples! . . . . Send me your vids! (Got lucky and managed to do it in a live insta earlier! ????) @psaworldtour #stayathomechallenge #bogrollbullseye

Whilst Ioan Sharpe made a splash with his water balloon challenge:

Day 7 - whilst the rest of us are scavenging for bread and chocolate gateaux @IoanSharpe is getting creative with an unstrung racket, a mini goal and a water balloon @EyeRackets @sqwales @englandsr @SquashTV pic.twitter.com/jvNXpO9245

Meanwhile, members from Leamington Tennis and Squash Club proved that teamwork makes the dream work with these trickshot masterclasses. But who does it best - the juniors or the seniors?

Check this out for teamwork!
The juniors clearly missing their squash. Let’s hope it’s not too long before we can get back on the courts.
Well done to all participants and special thanks to Anais for doing the video editing ???? @englandsr pic.twitter.com/LbGV566jfy
