I cannot imagine a better training experience than that provided by MentorCoach. The quality of the instruction is superb. The positive psychology emphasis and the opportunities to learn from leaders in the field are unparalleled.

Clinics are good, but you will not understand the true essence of the presenter unless you are able to follow them around while they are coaching and asking questions. It goes beyond taking notes and shaking hands. You learn and you can apply.

The ALTIS ACP was one of the best things I have ever done to help me improve as a coach. The top-notch guest speakers, insightful practical sessions and round-table discussions were insightful and the environment was very supportive and positive. Most importantly, the coaches genuinely love teaching and sharing their knowledge.

Whether you have aspirations to pursue coaching as a career or simply want to help out at your local club, as a qualified World Squash Foundation Coach you'll be equipped with the knowledge to confidently run sessions for beginner adult and junior squash players.

If every World Squash Foundation Coach brings 10-20 new people into the sport and retain them by creating positive, enjoyable, and rewarding experiences the future of squash will look a little brighter...

World Squash Federation and SquashSkills have collaborated to produce this new learning tool for players of all levels and experience, offering them the opportunity to develop their coaching skills and knowledge.

In the new age of technology the WSF believe this is a great opportunity for budding coaches to realise their potential, gain more knowledge and add more coaches from all over the world into the squash family while delivering fun and engaging coaching sessions for the benefit of players of all ages."

Finally, we really do believe in the phrase 'a rising tide lifts all ships'. In our view, we all need to create memorable experiences from the very first time a player steps onto a squash court. The more we create magical moments for newcomers to the sport, the greater the likelihood that the squash community will not only survive but thrive.

Increasing the number of qualified coaches at the grassroots level provides better opportunities for people to try the sport and have a great experience. This, in turn, leads to increased participation at squash clubs and venues as well as support for our National Governing Bodies. More people enjoying playing squash regularly will raise the profile of the professional game, increasing visibility and bringing the sport to a wider audience.

This alone is not going to fix all the challenges that squash is facing, but it's a step in the right direction. And with your help, we're determined to welcome as many people to the sport as we can to ensure that squash has a bright future.

Our aim is to lower the barrier to entry for people to get into coaching. That's why we made sure that you can complete the World Squash Foundation Coaching Award online without needing access to a court. Our hope is that you enjoy your first steps into coaching and that it motivates you to progress onwards to take your Level 1 certificate through your National Governing Body.

Anyone who has a basic knowledge of the game, whether you be a PE teacher, parent, or squash player of any standard. If you're naturally curious, are good at motivating people, and have a desire to develop new squash players then this course is for you.

The whole course will probably take up to about 8 hours to complete, including the final test but how fast or slow you go is really up to you. You can learn at your own speed, revisiting modules before moving on if you wish to.
