    Coaches Corner

    This year floodlit league, our masters events and junior league all use a champ tie break for the 3rd set. Don’t be the one who says you hate champ tie breaks! Practice playing champ tie break or come up with a strategy for how you will play them. A good one could be to give yourself a target of only making 3 mistakes for the whole champ tie break.

    IRISH SQUASH REFEREE COURSE

    Take a step along the road to qualifying as referees or just better understand The Rules of Squash. This is a great opportunity to learn the rule for all players of all standards.

    We will run a Level 1 Refereeing Session on Monday, October 17 at 7:30 to 8:30 to cover:

    1. Rules Overview
    2. Marker and Referee Calls
    3. Interference
    4. WSO Platform

    CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION 

    or email refereeingsecretary@irishsquash.com to request a link.

    SQUASH SHOES AND OTHER RULES

    We must remind players that Shoes with Black Soles are not permitted even if they say NON MARKING.  Check you Racket Grips are in good condidtion, If they are old they disintegrate and will shed onto the floor and permanently mark them.

    Also we have had to remove chewing Gum, Stones, Food and other damaging items from the courts. It is very important that we respect the courts and refrain from bringing food, drinks and dirt on court.

    LASTLY, some Juniors are NOT wearing their Squash Goggles on court!!!! It is so important that you ensure they wear their Goggles. It is compulsory world wide until they reach 19 year and there is a good reason. If you are hit with a squash ball in the EYE it is very unlikely the eye will recover. If a junior is seen on court without goggles they will be told to leave the court. If they continuously refuse to abide by the rules of squash they will be reported to management.
