2-Day Camp with Joel Makin: Learn To Add Intensity & Build Pressure

Play faster. Apply more pressure. Learn the tactics of high-intensity squash from one of the best in the world in our latest SquashSkills Coaching Camp taking place at Egbaston Priory Club, on 1-2 November 2025.

When people think about intensity, they often think fitness, but in reality, it’s much more than that.

This camp is all about the tactical side of intensity, how to play at pace, take time away from your opponent, and apply pressure across the whole court. Whether it’s stepping up on the T, using your volleys, building a solid length base, or creating physical rallies through smart choices, this is how the good players keep opponents constantly under the pump.

During this 2-day camp, led by Joel Makin, current World No.4 and 2025 World Tour Finals champion, we’ll break down the habits, decisions, and patterns that allow you to raise the tempo and take control of the match.

Alongside this, Joel will share his approach to physical training in a workshop-style format, giving you ideas and insight into how he prepares to sustain intensity over the course of a match. But the core of this camp is tactical: it’s about playing with purpose, and making every rally count.

 • Tactical sessions focused on raising tempo and applying pressure

 • How to use volleying, positioning, and length to take time away

 • Smart movement patterns to stay on top of rallies

 • Joel’s insight into physical prep, and how to build it into your own routine

Any player that’s looking to get on the front foot, add urgency, play at a higher tempo, and learn how to be more physically demanding without just grinding fitness drills.

Places are limited for this event and we expect it to sell out quickly. Early booking is strongly advised.
