Become a Squash Coach
Coach Development
Behind every great squash player is a great coach, and in Scotland, we have many coaches ranging from our level 1 coaches delivering extensive school/club programmes to our High Performance Coaches who work with regional squads and our performance programme at Oriam; Scotland’s Sports Performance Centre.
Our coaching pathway can support you to develop and progress in a coaching career, from our Level 1 qualification enabling you to coach groups of beginners, to our High Performance Coaches working with elite players.
Courses we deliver:
