One Minute Squash Session: The Warm Up

Technically, The warm up is only to warm the ball up. However, strategically, it is a good time to focus on getting your down the wall shots going to a good length and getting your cross-courts going to a good width. Courts and conditions change so pay attention to how the ball is reacting.

Additionally, the warm up is a good time to evaluate your opponent. Have a look for any weak spots your opponent may have. Is your opponent able to hit over heads (feed them a few lobs), volleys and can they move rapidly or are they slow to move forward or a particular corner (feed them shots that make them turn or boasts and drops that have them move to the front of the court)?

A helpful warm up can be as simple as identifying if your opponent is right handed or left handed - evaluate - evaluate - evaluate, play safe and enjoy your game.

How to Register:
Call the Eau Claire Y (403.269.6701).  Course Code is 88726. Give them a credit card number or tell them you’ll pay when you get there. Then send Trev an email telling him you’ve registered and if you have any time conflicts.

The plan is to run Tuesday or Weds to Friday and party late into the night Friday at Trevs house (or possibly Ceilis’). Seems like Trev wants put the entire budget into drinking on Friday, so prizes will likely be booze or bum slaps… probly both.
