Book your markers awareness workshop now - ready for the new season.

Could your players benefit from understanding how to officiate within the current rules? Whatever their age or ability, boost their confidence in the refereeing hot seat with Calling the Shots, our new markers awareness workshop delivered at your venue.

The refereeing environment can be challenging at times. This two-hour face-to-face workshop aims to empower beginners, more experienced players, parents and anyone involved in marking a competitive match with the know-how to mark with confidence, make effective decisions and give concise explanations when challenged.

"The Calling the Shots workshop was really enjoyable and useful. The players and their parents enjoyed the quizzes and video clips. Everyone left the workshop with more knowledge of refereeing and this has definitely helped their confidence refereeing in their England Squash tournaments and local county leagues. I would recommend any junior (and their parents) to attend a workshop!"
