Josh McDonald

Director of Squash

I started playing squash at the age of 10. And was a member of the Professional Squash Association (PSA) World Tour from 1998-2006, and the Squash Doubles Association (SDA) World Tour from 2001-2005.

I work with players of all levels, from beginner to professional.

Training Philosophy:

Squash lessons are 30 mins and coaching includes anything that will help make you a better player. Topics like technique, foot work, strategy, and the mental approach to squash can all be covered. Players of all levels and playing experience can benefit from taking lessons.
