Last Sunday, Piedro Schweertman, Morgan Pilley and myself were invited to do a clinic with the Dutch Transplant squash team. It was a great success with team members getting on court with each of us and playing a game or two. We enjoyed being on court with the guys and having a sweat, while I’m sure the team enjoyed being on court with us and getting run around!
To start the clinic, everyone was introduced and we had a chat about squash and the how the Team would do in Australia (the Games are held this year on the Gold Coast, Australia). Two members of the team have a really strong chance of winning Gold for the Nederland’s and we really hope they do well (though obviously I’d like to see Australia do well!).
Piedro and I then did a demonstration for the crowd, playing one game to 11. We played some serious points but also some fun rallies with trick shots and great retrieving thrown in there as well. Richard – team member - refereed the game and it was good to see he wasn’t too biased towards his fellow countryman!
Piedro, Morgan and I had a great time doing the clinic and getting on court with the team. We wish them all the best in Australia and look forward to watching their progress throughout the event.
