Coaching is done on the court. Most basic skills are taught eg: Forehand, Backhand, holding the racquet, court position, serving the ball, scoring, rules, and most of all court etiquette. Yellow dot soft balls are used. Buying expensive new equipment is not encouraged until the individual feels that he or she likes the sport. We have several used racquets for players. However, if so desired equipment can be purchased - through the Uxpool, including the junior squash racquet which is approximately two inches shorter than the regular squash racquet. . We will be putting an advertisement in your paper in September for the Junior Squash Registration.
