Who remembers this Let’s Drill book by Kim Buttfield? Kim was one of our top female players in the 80s & 90s. When she was the Coaching Co-ordinator and Development Officer Kim produced this book along with Life Member Alan East in 1993. This book is given to all participants at WA Squash Coaching Courses, so there will be at least one within each squash centre.
As we are now getting back on court for training, this book is a handy tool for one and two person drills. Pick out the ones that keep you 1.5 metres apart. If you are competitive then set your own targets in these drills and score against each other.
Drills are a great way to improve technique and shot practice without pressure. Top players around the world do drills 2-3 times per week – so give it a go.
The following Metro Squash Centres are now open for training only:
Squashworld Mirrabooka
Squashworld Brentwood (Blue Gum)
Squashworld Hilton
Squashworld Cambridge
Belmont Squash Centre
The Squash Factory (Marmion) – Opening Saturday 23rd May
Lords Recreation Centre – Opening Tuesday 26th May
Please contact them and your Country Club to find out the daily opening times.
Have fun training, keep up social distancing and adhere to the Squash Centres COVID-19 guidelines.
Lyn Chandler
Sue Cowell
At the recent WA Squash AGM both Lyn Chandler and Sue Cowell were awarded WA Squash Life Membership. These ladies work tirelessly for their clubs but its the work they have undertaken for WA Squash that makes them worthy recipients due to the longevity of their services. Lyn and Sue have such a long list of achievements that couldn’t be put here, you will be able to read more in the next SWAN newsletter.
Congratulations to you both.
With Phase 2 of COVID-19 in WA, Squash Centres may be able to open next Monday, the 18th May by following all the guidelines.
Each “facility” or centre is different (privately owned, council owned, private lease, rec centre etc) and whilst WA Squash can send you these 2 links below, it is up to the individual centre operators as to whether you are able to open.
Contact your club centre to see if they are open, adhere to the guidelines and enjoy getting back on court.
Should anyone need assistance with training drills please contact the coach at your club or contact Sue Hillier at dowasquash@gmail.com
