UK Racket Stringers Association

 Training and Support for stringers 

If you have a working interest in what happens when the ball/shuttle meets the racket strings, then the UKRSA can provide the training and support to help you. 
Training courses have been the big success story, with coaches, players, parents and retailers achieving the certificated two-day Professional Stringer award and gaining the skills, knowledge and confidence to tackle any racket servicing task. Forget the one-day intro courses that will only just give you enough information on how to start fumbling around. 
Next course is in Tewkesbury, Strings Squash & Health Club, on 11th & 12th March - vacancies. UKRSA Technical Director  Liam Nolan will be running this course. 
For busy people who cannot get away for two days, we offer the special "929" Professional Stringer course, same content but as the title suggests, a very busy 12hrs day.  Courses attract 12 coaching credits from all racket associations. Scroll down for list of courses.
If there is no course being run near you, drop me an email on liam@ukrsa.com and we may be able to set up a special one!.
The Professional Stringer award can lead to the one-day Racket Technician level, where the focus is on exploring the world of racket customising.
