Workout Harbourside club championships 2023

01st May 2023 09:00 AM

Hello!

We would like to welcome you to the 2023 Workout Squash Club Championships! This yearly event pits club member vs club member to see who will be the club champion and take the prize of being put up on the club honours board in the bar!

The championship will take place over the next couple of months, with rounds played roughly every week. The semi-finals will be held on Wednesday 14th June at 7pm. And the finals will be held on Saturday 17th June at 4pm – with drinks and a free buffet to all entrants following the final.

This year we have three draws available (with plate competitions for first round losers):

  • Woman’s
  • Mixed A-Grade – Team Players (or >750 level on SquashLevels if not in a team (yet!))
  • Mixed B-Grade – Non Team Players (or below 750 level on SquashLevels if not in a team (yet!)

We’ll openly admit that we’re not fully sure if the 750 level split is the right one, but we think it’s close. If you’re unsure of which one to enter – enter either and we’ll be looking at all the entries before doing the draw in order to try and get the fairest split of players, so that we all have as much fun as possible.

Matches will be best of 5 games, played PAR to 11. Initial rounds will be self marked, but we’ll have referees for the semi-finals and finals.

Once the draws are live, we’ll have roughly 1 week to 10 days to play each round’s match. We’ll ensure there’s good communications on the deadlines and the draws will be printed on the noticeboard by the courts. Please make every attempt to play your games. If for some reason it can’t be completed by the deadline, the higher ranked player will be put through.

We hope that the move away from a one weekend Monrad event enables more players to enter and will provide a great (fresh legged) finals afternoon on the Saturday for us all to enjoy.  The Finals will be followed by drinks and the buffet in the bar. Additional Buffet tickets can be purchased for friends and family.

Many thanks and look forward to the competition 🙂

What you've been saying...

Usually at nationals qualifying ( they are once per month ) there are ca 30 players. And my average was 22-27. Today i finished 15. And that was not some lucky draw or something. Also talked with my local coach , his opinion that my current level is 15-20. So in 2 month i jumped for ca. 10 positions!

Thanks again, Hadrian.

I wasn’t sure how well the virtual learning would work, however having completed both your workshops I have been blown away with what I have learnt. I have found I have learnt more over these workshops, than the on court coaching I have previously received. Even though the workshop was on movement & tactics the biggest points I have taken away is on the mindset (growth & fixed), balance and cost vs efficiency for my movement’

‘In one week my game improved so much that it’s almost unrecognisable. Hitting the ball more cleanly and moving more efficiently. Squash is even more enjoyable now. ‘ Josh Goldstein – Los Angeles.

What is truly exceptional,  is their ability to not only get to the bottom of the issue but also, or primarily, to walk the player very quickly through the learning process to break old and implement new pattern. As for me, and I have been playing squash for 8 years now, I was really thrilled to be able to hit for the first time a decent backhand drive from back corner with a relaxed swing only after 1 or 2 training sessions. – Bristol camp 2018

Hadrian’s method is quite different from coaching I’ve had before in the style, a lot about improving the movement to make the game easier and how connecting the physical and mental sensations can help the whole body feel better and be more effective. It has helped me a lot in my career so far, not just on court but off court too! It helped a lot to get me into the top 3 and hopefully we won’t stop there!

If you are tired of same old same old with your squash coaching or are looking for something different then Elite Squash is for you. I came across Hadrian Stiff, who founded Elite Squash, a few years ago and was immediately struck by how different his approach to coaching is. Hadrian and his team have a holistic approach to sport, and specifically squash, which is focussed around freedom of movement and creativity on court.

Seamus Singh, Bristol

Thank you very much for your personal comments, I can see and feel in myself, exactly what I am doing wrong now. It’s so good to have this constructive criticism. Hugely exciting. Thank you. I loved the course content and the relaxed manner that you delivered it. The strength and condition lecture was REALLY useful

Michael, Wiltshire

John was patient and balanced the different abilities well, giving us all strong direction on how to focus on improving our game. Lunch was lovely. Loads of fun and laughter. Really liked the way John dealt with the mental approach to the game too.
