The Squash Association of Zambia (SAZ) offers structured certification and training programs to ensure coaches are well-equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to guide players effectively. These programs are designed to cover all aspects of coaching, including technique development, fitness training, player psychology, and game strategy. SAZ works closely with regional and international squash bodies to align its coaching curriculum with global standards. Courses are offered at various levels, from beginner to advanced, allowing coaches to progress in their careers. Certification includes both theoretical and practical assessments, ensuring that coaches are competent, confident, and capable of delivering quality instruction.
Beyond initial certification, SAZ supports coaches through continuous professional development (CPD) and mentorship programs. Regular workshops, refresher courses, and seminars are organized to keep coaches updated on new techniques, technologies, and coaching philosophies. Experienced national and international coaches are brought in to mentor local trainers, offering guidance and sharing best practices. This ongoing support helps coaches refine their skills, address challenges, and stay motivated in their roles. Through CPD and mentorship, SAZ aims to create a strong network of knowledgeable, confident coaches who can drive the growth and development of squash across Zambia at both grassroots and elite levels.
