Members of a local sports club have marked World Squash Day with a game outside Lichfield Cathedral.

The group from Lichfield Squash Club decided to get creative after coronavirus restrictions prevented them from hosting an indoor event.

So they opted to take a portable rebound wall to the cathedral today (10th October) to give people a chance to learn the basics.

The Lichfield coaches were joined by professional coach Chris Dawson. He said:

> “When I heard that Lichfield Squash Club had plans to set up a squash wall in front of the three spires of Lichfield Cathedral for World Squash Day, this was something I wanted to be part of.  
>  
> “Squash is the world’s healthiest sport and has so much to offer. If we can share our passion for the sport we love to the public this can only be a good thing.”  
>  
> Chris Dawson

The club is usually based at the courts at King Edward VI Sports Centre and are still able to play despite broader COVID-19 restrictions.

Lichfield Squash Club coach James Roberts added:

> “Although there are restrictions and protocols to follow, the club has, in partnership with the school, undertaken a full risk assessment and produced comprehensive guidance to allow squash playing to take place as safely as possible.  
>  
> “Once this pandemic is over, we look forward to developing some exciting programmes for beginners and juniors in partnership with Staffordshire Squash”.
