Wayne Smith - Coach
Wayne started playing squash after playing football & cricket to a good level, he became addicted to the sport and qualified as a National Referee and Senior Coach.
He trained under then national coach, the great Dadir El Bakary, and his squash coaching experience has taken him through National Junior, Regional Squads and Canterbury Junior & Teams.
At club level he enjoys being involved with Juniors, Superchamp teams, Interclub, and individuals of all grades.
His favourite shot is the deep drop - when played well it is a winner, play it poorly and you can be in trouble.
