Squash Ireland, working in partnership with Mayo Education Support Centre, has 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”. This course was successfully delivered in two locations, Ballina, Co. Mayo and Thurles, Co. Tipperary, in the summer of 2024. A second iteration of the course, delivered in one location, took place in the summer of 2025. We are now seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified tutors to deliver this course in other regions in July 2026.

The course seeks to unpack strands of the Primary School P.E. Curriculum for teachers through the medium of squash. There is 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 an exciting opportunity for teachers to connect their passion for the game of squash with their professional work of teaching primary school children, using squash as a vehicle to teach many aspects of the P.E. Curriculum.

Squash Ireland is now inviting expressions of interest from suitably qualified and experienced individuals to become tutors for the delivery of this course in July 2026. The course will take place in multiple venues across the country, depending on tutor availability and participant interest. The course format is face to face and will take place 1^st – 7^th July this year. (Actual course days 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6^th & 7th). Training will be provided for tutors.
