Re: TSR SquashI'd really like to start playing Squash, it looks awesome. And is also the sort of thing I feel I might be alright at!
No idea where to start though, I don't even know if there's anywhere to play around here. And I don't know anybody else that plays! -

Today I went to UEA to look around with my sister, and there was the best sports facility I think I have ever seen. There were also 5 real nice courts. The play however, was diabolical... I felt like saying, "Pass it hear mate, this is how you're MEANT to hit it. Firm wrist, straight shoulders." But of course, I didn't :P

I know some people don't get coached for many reasons like, cost etc.(Original post by Tukmyster)

But it just intrigued me how many people were playing with a 'poor style'.
Naah, sister is going to Uni soon so I had to go and look -_- Sports facility was incredible!

How do I keep confidence when going onto court to play a game? I go on thinking, " i'm going to get leathered..". How do I go on and play well knowing I can beat the opponent?

well you've got to be confident in your own ability so that you can play good, tight shots and also if you practice hitting the ball before a match thatll make it better.(Original post by Mr Bee)

How would that work though? I think it would be too difficult maybe.(Original post by The_Last_Melon)
We should organise a tournament.

Like using - http://challonge.com/ - as a bracket, then everyone is assigned a number, or do it in teams, and winner, or Team winners, get a prize each. ie, cost £5 entry, if there's 5 teams of 3, thats £25 for each member of the team.(Original post by Tukmyster)

Re: TSR SquashI think the main reason it would be hard to organise would be the fact people are spread across the country and that is going to make it expensive with travel etc, and also a rather large commitment!(Original post by Mr Bee)
Or a round robin, 2 round robins with 4 in each. One with most wins, from each robin, plays the other robin top. Winner gets money/prize etc...

Re: TSR SquashThis is one of the most infuriating parts of playing for me as well. I was supposed to play this weekend but my mate is ill, should be playing some time in the next week which I look forward to(Original post by Mr Bee)
I ALWAYS lose point from stupid mistakes... How can I help prevent this?
