Coaching
England Squash Talent Development Award (Level 3)

The Talent Development Award enables candidates to analyse, develop and deliver player centred coaching and delivery plans that cover all areas of a player’s personal development. The course consists of face to face practical sessions, bespoke webinars and tailored mentoring.

Who it's for: a Level 2 coach looking to coach the technical and tactical requirements of squash to both juniors and adults at advanced level (County and Regional) or support and mentor other coaches – as a Head Coach or Assistant Coach.

Coach testimonials
“Without that level three qualification I wouldn’t have been considered for the job. The course does help financially - it definitely upskilled me and was a few days of great content. The best thing about the course is being known as a Level Three coach - it allows you to apply for jobs that you wouldn’t be able to otherwise, so it gives you kudos and gets your foot in the door.”

Liam Gutcher, Head of Racquet Sports at Newcastle

“There are so many benefits to the course. The Level Three goes through everything from performance analysis, strength and conditioning, video analysis and peer reviews. It is a great course for building confidence and taking your coaching to the next level.”

- Anna Vaughan-Hawkins, Cheshire County Coach
