Women in Coaching Survey
Sport Ireland are undertaking a study to gather the most up to date information from female coaches in Ireland, both current and former, to inform the development of future plans, programmes and initiatives for female coaches in the country.
The findings from this survey and the subsequent study will enable Sport Ireland to develop resources, programmes and strategies that can support the ongoing work of Irish Squash and other National Governing Bodies (NGBs) as well as advising on future work plans in the topic of females in coaching.
We hope that as a result of this survey we can
Develop an in-depth understanding of the status of females in coaching roles in Ireland
Investigate the challenges and opportunities to increase the numbers of female coaching across all sports and at all levels
Use the feedback to develop good practice programmes, resources or strategies for NGBs and LSPs that will lead to successful recruitment, retention, development and progression of female coaches
If you are female and either a former or current coach we would appreciate if you took 10 minutes to fill out this survey.

COVID-19 UPDATE - May 11th - See below for a very important update. This is also on our website - bit.ly/2LkzEqI
Irish Squash have established a working group to be led by Rosie Barry regarding the return to play guidelines for squash. A draft protocol has been prepared with reference to current government, HSE, HPSC and NSAI guidelines. Further work is required on our protocol and we will publish it following consultation with Sport Ireland.
In brief, we envisage that a return to ‘solo’ squash (one player only per court) is feasible in Phase 3 of the Irish Government’s ‘Roadmap to re-opening business & society’ (published May 1st). Updates from the UK Government with respect to easing of restrictions in Northern Ireland will guide re-opening of squash clubs there.
Irish Squash do NOT recommend any re-opening of squash courts before Phase 3 of the Roadmap has been reached.
Clubs are also advised to check out the newly-published “Return to Work Safely Protocol: COVID-19 Specific National Protocol for Employers and Workers”, where relevant, for guidance on managing the club environment.
Please check our website regularly for updates.
