Clinic Details

There is a $10.00 participation fee. The clinic is ‛classroom’ style. Some relevant materials will be provided to take away — Squash Canada Rule Books are an extra cost. (All rules are available on either the Squash BC or Squash Canada Web sites.)

The clinic will cover, among other things:

• Fair Play = Fair Outcome
• Warming Up / Time between games
• ‛Officiating’ Terminology — with emphasis on limiting discussion
• Foot Faults / Service Faults
• ‛PAR’ scoring, tie breaker rules
• Rule 12 – ‛Obstruction’ — Let / No Let / Stroke
• Turning – Actual / Mental!
• Injuries – Self inflicted, opponent inflicted, combined
• Bleeding – Strict rules to prevent, cover and eliminate

There is usually a lively amount of discussion at these clinics. Depending upon the number of participants, and their relevant knowledge, the clinics typically last from 1½ to 2 hours.
