Rochdale Squash Academy
World-class coaching and structured development for players of all ages — from first racket to county pathway.
Our mission
“Success is not about the wins or losses. It’s about helping these young people be the best version of themselves both on and off the court.”
Our story
Rochdale Squash Academy (RSA) was formed in 2016 by Andy Parton and Eddie Hamilton. It expanded in 2022 with world-ranked coach Lewis Doughty. In 2025 Lewis moved to Wimbledon Squash Club as Head Coach, and Jordan Hardwick was appointed Lead Coach in October 2025 — keeping a strong coaching team for juniors and adults at Redbrook.
