A BIT ABOUT ME
Lucy was six years old when her dad first took her down to her local club for junior sessions. She took to it quickly — county selection followed, then a first England squad invite at ten, and a top-three national ranking at every junior age group after that. Squash has stayed with her as an adult too. She still plays regularly in local leagues alongside her work with England Squash and World Squash Officiating.
She started coaching in 2009 with junior group and individual sessions at her local club. She went on to become a county development officer for England Squash, setting up and running junior and adult sessions across Cheshire, and continued individual coaching when she moved to the Midlands for university. Today she works for England Squash as Talent Pathway Manager, where she manages the coaches and content behind the Aspire, Super-Regional, England Potential, and England Development squads.
Engaging, supportive, developing — that's how Lucy describes her coaching. A first session starts with a proper conversation about what a player wants to get out of their squash. She'll work through the basics — grip, racket prep, swing, footwork, balance — and from there build the session around the player in front of her, with technical work and engaging routines that keep things fun. Lucy coaches beginner, improver, and advanced players.
WHAT OUR PLAYERS SAY
“Finding a female squash coach for my daughter always felt out of reach. Courter changed that overnight. Suddenly there were real options, at venues we could actually get to, at times that worked. It's opened up a whole new side of the sport for her.”
“We booked our first squash session together as a couple and it went beyond our expectations... We left feeling confident enough to book a court ourselves and excited to make squash a regular part of our routine.”
“It was great to be able to choose between coaches, venues and time slots... The fact that the court was booked meant there was no stress of booking a court, getting equipment.”
“The booking process was very easy and straightforward. In fact, I think it's better than most.”
“A good sweat!! ... Honestly the best thing I took from it was to always have fun when playing.”
“Booking was easy... Loved the session, got a few tips that were personalised to me. Definitely book again.”
