On-Court Technical Coaching to Master Your Squash Game
See how we break down the squash swing, footwork, and movement into simple, repeatable patterns. Whether you are building your basics or prepping for tournaments, these drills help you get the technique right.
Here, we are demonstrating a crucial drill for organized movement. The focus is on moving from the back of the court to the 'T' and then to the front for a volley drop, emphasizing correct footwork and racket position.
We break down complex shots to make them simple. This video explains the common error in hitting a straight drive from the front backhand and shows how to correct it by adjusting foot placement for better balance and spacing.

This video explains the two most common issues with the backhand volley: late racket preparation and improper back-foot movement. We teach players to prepare early and keep their hips parallel to the side wall for stability and power.

About this collection
We don't just tell you what to do; we show you why. By focusing on T positioning and early racket preparation, we help players avoid common technical errors like cutting across the ball or dragging the backswing. It is about building a foundation that handles pressure, not just practicing for the sake of it.
Technique in squash is not just about power; it is about consistent, efficient movement. My coaching method focuses on stripping back the complexities of the game to the fundamentals that every player needs, whether they are just picking up a racquet or competing at the SGFI level.
Why Technique First?
Many players struggle because they are compensating for poor footwork with big, erratic swings. On the court, we focus on three pillars:
- Racket Preparation: We drill the habit of getting your racket back early. If you wait until the ball is upon you, you are already behind.
- Footwork Efficiency: We use cone drills and ghosting to teach you how to move through the T, not just chase the ball. Your feet dictate your balance, and balance dictates your shot.
- Consistent Strike: From straight drives to volley drops, we break down the body mechanics—keeping the elbow across the body, maintaining a sweeping arc—to ensure your shot is repeatable under match pressure.
The GGems Approach
We run sessions across Delhi-NCR and Vadodara, including programs at Ahlcon International, DPS GBN, Gyanshree, and Prometheus School. We divide our training to ensure the coaching matches your level:
- Foundation Classes: For beginners, we keep it simple. We use drills like balloon games to build coordination and teach grip mechanics safely.
- Competitive Training: For our school squads, we move into pressure feeding, video analysis of stroke mechanics, and match simulations that replicate tournament intensity.
Every drill we run is designed to solve a specific problem on court. If you are ready to stop guessing and start playing with structure, let’s get on the court.
