The fastest way to improve your game. Our personalized squash lessons are designed to deliver immediate, tangible results, whether you're holding a racquet for the first time or working to gain a competitive edge.
Personalized Coaching to
Unleash Your Potential
While group clinics and casual match play are fantastic, nothing accelerates your development like dedicated, one-on-one attention. Our 1:1 squash coaching philosophy is built on a simple premise: every player is unique. A generic approach won't do. We don't just teach you how to hit the ball; we provide a customized roadmap to elevate your entire game, focusing on technique, fitness, and strategic thinking. If you truly want to learn squash and see rapid improvement, private lessons are your most powerful tool.

Find Your Perfect
Lesson Format
We offer a variety of lesson formats at all our locations to fit your goals, schedule, and budget.
Private Squash Lessons
(One-on-One)
This is the ultimate learning experience. Get the undivided attention of a private squash coach for a full session dedicated entirely to you. We’ll analyze your strokes, develop custom training plans, and provide video analysis to track your progress. These individual lessons offer the most rapid path to improvement.
Semi-Private Lessons
