Alan Thatcher replied to Mark Lennox's discussion 'Is Kent squash dying?'

Tom. Another major factor is to get guys like you, an experienced player and a parent, to become qualified coaches. We urgently need more coaches to help to grow the game and funding is available to help you get your Level 1 and Level 2…

Hi Tom The Kent SRA Development Programme has been set up to help all clubs forge strong links with local schools and provide a structure to get large numbers of kids on court and introduce them to the game. The club and the Kent SRA will then…

Alan Thatcher replied to Mark Lennox's discussion 'Is Kent squash dying?'

Thanks Tom. Absolutely agree on every point! By the way, we have a new team of absolute beginners in The Mote junior section who are finding life tough in their first season in Division Three of the Kent Junior League. It would be nice to play…

Brilliant job, Joe. Shame I was working over the weekend and couldn't make it.

WORLD SQUASH DAY: LADIES WANTED !!!

It was fantastic to see an all-Kent final in the British Junior Open Under-15 Championship in Manchester on Sunday, with Georgina Kennedy of Park Langley overcoming Amelia Henley of Rodmersham.

Sadly, we will not be fielding a girls' county team at under-19 level this season because of a shortage of players.

That's why the need to attract a new generation of female players is one of the priorities of the Kent SRA and that is, hopefully, shared by all clubs in the…
