The idea of the Coach Workshop is to update and support the coaches in Middlesex & Herts.
Middlesex & Herts have always produced good coaches and some world class players and it would be great
to bring the volunteers, Level 1 and 2's and hopefully the odd Level 3 & 4 together to share ideas
and for me to hopefully add some new ideas as well as learn something new.

Dear Gordon, John and Derek
 
I wrote to you last year regarding holding a County Coach Workshop.

I have spoken to Tim Taylor regarding a coach workshop and he felt that there weren't enough coaches to warrant a coach workshop but we could join forces with Hertfordshire and do a joint workshop 
 
The cost of a Workshop and County Squad would be £100.00 (£50.00 each) which would be payable to England Squash.
 
The County's I have been too have either paid the fee straight from the County Accounts or have passed the fee on to the coaches
 
England Squash can help advertise the workshop, though a central point in each county would be necessary for coaches to send acceptance forms too and possibly collect fees if necessary.
 
If your interested in running a joint coach workshop these are the dates I'm free to run a Workshop on
 
Friday 15th May
 
I look forward to hearing from you soon
 
Kind Regards
 
Mike Harris
England Squash Academy Director
