The Coach
Brad Murray is a Level 2 England Squash coach, who is currently
running Junior programmes at several different clubs.
Previously Head Coach at Sandown Sports in Surrey,
he is also coaching England national standard players.
Brad is from the Isle of Wight, where he first started
playing at the age of 5, progressing through to County
and National level in u13 and u15 age groups.
As would be expected, Brad is DBS checked. He has also
undergone Safeguarding and First Aid training.
The Training Sessions
We offer a free Introductory session, for those wanting a
taster. Come ready for fun & a proper workout, wearing
comfortable sports attire and non-marking trainers.
5-8 year-olds -
for children of this age, sessions will focus on developing
each child’s hand-eye co-ordination, as well as
‘movement games’. These, unwittingly, will work on the
right positioning, turns & movement that are so important
in squash. This will all be done in a non-competitive
environment, with the emphasis on having lots of fun!
9-12 year-olds -
children in this age group learn how to play the game.
Again there are drills, focusing on specific core skills,
before moving onto quick-rotation ‘three-quarter court’
points, and then full games.
Parents
Parents & Carers are more than welcome to stay and watch
the sessions, from the court gallery. We also have an
active Adult section with Club nights, competitive leagues,
group and 1-to-1 training.
The Future
Once we have the numbers, we’ll start up a Junior Ladder,
followed by Junior Leagues. And from there, we’ll register
a team to play in the Bucks league. We’re at the start of
our journey – do come and join us.
