Clubs are at the heart of squash in Scotland and at Scottish Squash we aim to support the creation and development of safe clubs that provide a sense of belonging for all players.
We have refreshed our club toolkit ahead of the new 2022/23 membership year.
The club toolkit features posters which you can use at your squash club, plus links to resources and guides which might be of use.
Clubs may also find it useful to check out our policies & procedures section of our website.
If you’re a coach why not check out the coaching resources section.
If you think something is missing from our Club Toolkit, or have a resource which you would like to share more widely with clubs across Scotland, please email info@scottishsquash.org and let us know!
