What age do I need to be to coach squash?
Only qualified coaches aged 18+ can lead squash sessions on their own. If you're younger, there are still ways to get involved and start your coaching journey:
- 14–15 years old: You can take our Game Changer course and assist a qualified adult coach. You won't need a DBS, safeguarding, or first aid training at this stage, and you can’t lead sessions independently.
- 16–17 years old: You're eligible to take any coaching course and must also meet our coaching requirements. You can assist with sessions but can’t lead them alone until you're 18.
- 18+ years old: Once you're qualified and meet all of our coaching requirements, you can lead squash sessions independently.
