Squash Exercises

Carefully selected exercises for squash players, from beginner to expert level.

As a trainer with seven years of experience and sixteen years of experience as a player, I've developed training programmes for both players new to the sport and (semi) experienced players looking to improve specific aspects of their game.

Below are a few exercises I recommend, all include a few variations and their difficulty level.

Length Boast

Easy to expert drill. One player starts in the front hitting straight shots to the back of the court alongside a side wall, another player returns these from the back playing boasts from the back quarters of the court.

Movement

Place two objects each in the front of the court, middle and back of the court. Start a timer for one, two, or three minutes and see how many shots you can make. Completely come to a stop on the T before moving again.
