Survey of In4Squash Ireland Group

Recently, we asked the In4Squash Ireland Facebook group to share what would be most likely to get members out on court?

These are the results:


It seems as though "regular coaching sessions" and "weeknight meetups" were the top choices, followed by some extra socialising and playing opportunities.

To respond to these findings, we scheduled weeknight meetups in UCD yesterday and also 2 weeks ago. We also plan to create a facebook event soon for a coaching session with an Irish Squash coach, which was really useful in the run-up to the Spring Tournament this year. This needs a minimum of 6 players so if interested, please let us know.

If anyone has any comments or feedback, please drop us a line on facebook or to in4squashireland@gmail.com and we'll do our best to put something in place.
