Learn from England’s No. 2, Jonah Bryant, how to hit the perfect length — one of the most important shots in squash.
In this on-court session, you’ll break down technique, timing, and control, with a clear focus on consistency and precision. Then step up for the challenge: a length-only rally against Jonah. No winners — just control from the back of the court.
Learn how to perform the way you train with Jesse Engelbrecht, performance coach for US Squash and former PSA Tour pro, working with players including Tinne Gilis, Amanda Sobhy, Sivasangari Subramaniam, and Aly Abou Eleinen.
This session focuses on closing the gap between practice and match play, with practical tools you can use straight away — from pre-match routines to a 6-second reset under pressure. Clear, applied mental training for match play.
Join Netherlands Team Coach Chanel Erasmus for on-court sessions focused on tempo variation, game awareness, and tactical decision-making.
Drawing on her experience coaching at the highest level, Chanel will help players understand how to control the pace of rallies, recognize opportunities during play, and make smarter decisions under pressure. These sessions are designed to give players practical tools they can immediately apply in match situations.
Learn how to move efficiently on court with Belgium’s No. 1, Tinne Gilis, and former World No. 5.
In this on-court session, the focus is on positioning, movement patterns, and recovery — helping you get to the ball earlier and conserve energy. You’ll work on footwork, balance, and reading the game, with clear guidance you can apply straight away.
Join a session with Andrea Santamaria, official WSO Referee on the PSA World Tour.
In this session, you’ll learn how referees make decisions at the highest level — from positioning and rules interpretation to handling pressure in real time. A clear look at the principles behind consistent officiating and how the game is managed on court.
Laurence Leonard is a Physiotherapist on the PSA World Tour and Lead Physiotherapist & Strength & Conditioning Coach for US Squash.
In this session, he shares a clear approach to training, recovery, and injury management — combining physiotherapy and strength work into one system. You’ll cover warm-ups, recovery, and the habits that support consistent performance on court.
Learn how to create deception with multiple shot options from the same position. Former England Head Coach David Campion—who has worked with players like James Willstrop—shares a clear view on how to disrupt your opponent’s movement.
A mix of off-court video analysis and on-court technical work breaks this skill down into something you can understand and apply.
Start your day on court with Victor Crouin and experience how a top professional prepares for competition.
In this on-court session, you’ll work through movement patterns, timing drills, and controlled hitting to build rhythm and sharpness from the first ball. A focused, high-quality start to the day with practical details you can apply straight away.
