WSC LEVEL 3 - 16 - 21 November 2021
On behalf of World Squash Coaching, the European Squash Federation and Swiss Squash we are pleased to invite you to the WSF Level 3 Coaching Course.

The Level 3 course aims to guide coaches to work with players up to a national squad and professional level.  All candidates must have successfully completed a WSF Level 2 course, or provide evidence of an equivalent qualification and level of competence. 

Acceptance of applicants not holding a WSF Level 2 qualification is subject to approval by the World Squash Coaching Panel.

In addition to attending the course, candidates are expected to fulfil post course theory and practical assignments. These assignments will require candidates to choose one of their own players of appropriate level, make an annual plan and deliver a meso cycle with at least 12 lessons, one of which must be videoed and provide detailed, written documentation. The assignment must be submitted to the tutors within six months after completion of the course.
