    • Mod Swot,
    • Mini Swot,
    • SWOT.

  • Age
  • Poor hand/eye coordination.

  • Racket skills
  • Weight
  • Awkwardness
  • Agility
            can enjoy to play.
  • Children and parents will find it easy and enjoyable to play as a family and keep coming back for more. 
  • The SWOT program enables participant's to choose the rules and equipment, providing a progression at their own pace, leadng to success
  • The aim of the game to simply hit the ball one more time than your opponent.

Improving your skills with drills

Bounce the ball to hit
  • Since squash is a game that involves judging the ball rebounding off a wall it is imperative to get the "feel" of the rebound.
  • Once having gained some confidence with the rebounding by bouncing the ball, then progress to volley rebounding drills.
