The Guernsey Squash Racket Association (GSRA) employs two full time coaches and
supports several other coaches through its wide and varied programme.
All the coaches working under the GSRA banner should have their coaching certificates
first aid, child protection and police checked. (If you have any doubts please ask
for proof)
Peter Bridgeman
Director of Guernsey Squash
The coaches coach at both clubs on the island Kings & Beau Sejour and the cost of
a lesson depend on the venue, time of day, the level of qualification and experience
of the coach but are usually between £20-£30.
Peter Bridgeman is the Director of Guernsey Squash and is a level IV coach. He has
been coaching for nearly 18 years and has a vast experience at all levels from national
to international. Originally from Wales Peter has been coaching in Guernsey for
nearly 4 years and in that time has managed many teams and players on and off the
island.
As a player I was ranked 11 in Wales and played several times for his County (South
Glamorgan) and also played for Wales three times in the O’35 Home internationals.
In 2005 he managed a team in the Shetlands Island Games where we won a total of
6 medals (including 2 Golds) and in 2006 managed Chris Simpson in the Commonwealth
Games in Melbourne.
As the development officer Peter (with help from his staff as well as the squash
members) organises all of the squash on the island for juniors & adults.
