This title forms part of a series of sports' coaching handbooks, published in association with the National Coaching Foundation and the sport's Governing Body. Each book is an introductory guide for coaches, written for those who are called upon to coach beginners be they parents, teachers or community leaders. This informative text guides the novice coach, step-by-step, on how to progress beginners through the basics of the game towards a tactical appreciation of the matchplay situation. (The rules of the game are included for reference). Every conceivable fault in the beginner's technique has a fault-correcting practice to remedy it, and special attention is paid to the specific fitness required for squash. This is combined with a lively understanding of one's responsibility as a coach - basically, to instil a love for the game and develop a disciplined approach to play in the pupils.
