Squash with Bruce!

Bruce from Sport Southland came to teach us some squash skills this week. We really enjoyed learning something new. 
Check out our skills in the photos and clips below.

What did you find challenging? What did you enjoy learning? What would you focus on next time?

  1. Hi Room 4, my name is Mrs Spragg. I teach a Year 5-8 class in Christchurch. I don't know much about squash but I can see from your photos that you need to have a good grip and some skill in making the racquet connect with the ball. What did you find the most difficult part of learning about squash? Do you have a squash court that you can use in the future to practise? It was good to see how you have to hold the grip. Thanks for sharing this. From Mrs Spragg, Yaldhurst Model School, Chch

    1. Hi Mrs Spragg,

      I think the hardest part was doing a pancake flip which is flipping your racket while bouncing your ball in the air. Also we don't have a squash court, it was just set up in the rugby club which is down the road. Thank you for our very first blog comment!

  16. Hi Room 4,

    Squash was really fun, and seeing I have never played before it was also very interesting. All of us did really well and had great sportsmanship towards each other. What did everyone find challenging?

  17. Hey Room 4,

    I really enjoyed the squash lessons. The pancake flops were really challenging. My most exciting part of the lesson was vs my partner in the court. I wonder how long Bruce has been playing squash for?

  18. Hi Room 4

    I found squash really fun and I think that the hardest part about it was the pancake flip because I kept hitting the ball to hard which made it hard to keep flipping the racket and trying to keep the ball on the racket. Do you think you would ever like to play squash?

  19. Hi room 4

    That squash was really hard and did anyone think that the pancake flip was really hard as well as cross country good luck to everyone who got into central. Who liked the relay?

  20. Hi Room 4

    Squash was fun and hard.
    Lots of us did well and had good sportsmanship even though it was very hard.
    We all did very well and had a good time.
    I had fun when I went on the court and it was hard.
    My favorite part was playing king of the court.
    Did you have fun when we went and played?

  21. Kia Ora,

    This looks like such a fun sporting activity to do with a class. Did you play any games of squash? I really want to have a training drill at school for squash.
