What is the Club Charter?
The Club Charter is a progressive club development programme with a simple vision to:
- Increase the number of adults and juniors playing squash through sound playing and competitive club programmes
- Increase the recruitment, education and development of coaches and volunteers
- Improve the infrastructure of our club network
This is being achieved by:
- Clubs contributing to the future of squash both locally and nationally
- Identifying priority clubs
- Understanding the developmental needs of our clubs
- A greater investment in club activity
- Identifying and supporting the training needs of coaches and volunteers
- Regular club health checks
- Greater contact between clubs and their Area Squash Managers
How is the Club Charter awarded?
Clubs apply to England Squash by way of completing a Club Health Check which allows them to identify their own strengths and areas where the Area Squash Managers can offer support.
Clubs will be applying for one of four levels:
- Bronze
- Silver
- Gold
- Performance
