Squash Course (10 weeks)

Squash is a fun, intensive and challenging racket sport. Student Squash club Beat It together with Sportcentrum Olympos provides 10-week courses (10 times 1 hour).

Levels
  • Beginners: You will learn the basic squash techniques such as forehand, backhand, service, drop and volley, and the proper racket and running techniques for your first match. If you have never or hardly ever played before, the beginners' level is the best level to start with.
     
  • Advanced beginners: You will learn to improve the basic forehand, backhand and volley techniques. You will also practice match situations to apply the learnt techniques. If you have occasionally played recreational squash before, this level is the right level for you.

  • Intermediates: Once you have mastered the basic techniques and / or have been playing recreational squash for a longer time, you may want to start at the semi-advanced level. You will learn additional techniques such as lob and boast and you will practice increasingly challenging match situations.

  • Advanced: This level is for experienced squash players who may have played competitively or in a league. You will learn to refine your techniques and influence the pace of the rallies

At all levels attention will be paid to technique and tactics as well as to fitness and explosiveness.
