Tutors wanted to deliver Summer Course – “Squash – Supporting Pupils’ Physical Literacy Journey in Your School”

Irish Squash working in partnership with Mayo Education Centre have developed and received approval from the Department of Education to run an E.P.V. approved summer course entitled “Squash – Supporting Pupils’ Physical Literacy Journey in Your School.”

The course seeks to unpack strands of the Primary School P.E. Curriculum for teachers through the medium of squash.  The course has a strong emphasis on practical ideas and activities that teachers can use to offer a fresh fun approach to the teaching of fundamental movement skills in their school.  This is a very exciting opportunity for teachers to connect their passion for the game of squash with their professional work of teaching primary school children, by using the game of squash to teach aspects of the P.E. Curriculum.
