This season Squash Ireland will run a repeating series of on-line information sessions on the Rules of Squash.

As preparation or as an alternative you can access a recording of these sessions on YouTube as follows:
In line with World Squash Federation policy, all squash players are now encouraged to achieve the Player Certificate – Introductory Level on the World Squash Officiating platform as a means to improving the general level of understanding of the rules. Representative players from U17 upwards must achieve the Player Certificate – Tournament Level, this is mandatory.
Both can be accessed via the WSO website.
The refereeing arm of World Squash, has designed a useful website to provide online referee education, training and certification. You will be able to move through the stages of your squash refereeing journey – from Level 0, to Level 1 (equivalent to previous Squash Ireland Club Grade), on to Level 2 (Tournament Grade) then Level 3 (National) and even higher if you have the appetite for it!
The higher levels (from Level 2 onwards) will still require appraisals by WSO assessors and Squash Ireland is working with WSO in that regard. The present requirement to have two successful assessments for Level 2 and upwards will continue. We are delighted to again have the experience of Joe Ruddy and Brian Williams to help with mentoring emerging referees with help from current Squash Ireland Refereeing Secretary, Lee Healy.
Good refereeing adds to the enjoyment of competitive squash. The downloadable resources listed below will help in that regard.
Explore expert training resources, advanced certification programs, and practical tools to enhance your skills and elevate your coaching career. Whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your techniques, you’ll find everything you need to inspire and lead players to success.
