If you are looking for squash lessons in Dubai, you do not need to arrive as an experienced player. A first coaching session is a chance to explore the game, explain your goals and find a comfortable starting point. This guide will help you plan that first visit and choose what comes next.

Start with your goal

Think about what you want from squash. You might want a new sport, a regular activity after work, more confidence on court or help preparing for matches. Tell the academy whether you have played before and what you find difficult. That conversation helps you choose between a private trial, ongoing private coaching and semi-private sessions.

What to expect from a first lesson

The exact session depends on your starting level. Beginner coaching can introduce racket control, basic movement, striking the ball and returning to a useful position after each shot. Keep the first goal simple: understanding the task and making controlled contact with the ball. You do not have to master every shot in one visit.

Ask your coach to explain one thing to work on between lessons. A clear practice focus is more useful than trying to remember several corrections at once. If you have previous experience, explain what you would like to improve so your session can start from there.

What to bring and confirm before you arrive

Wear comfortable sports clothing and confirm the venue’s requirements for indoor court shoes.
Bring water and a towel.
Ask the academy whether a racket and ball can be provided or whether you should bring your own.
Confirm any protective-eyewear requirements with your coach and venue.
Check your exact court location, arrival time and booking details before travelling.

Nolet operates across several Dubai locations. Choose a venue you can reach consistently, rather than choosing only by the neighbourhood name. You can review the academy locations and confirm the court with the team.

Private trial or ongoing coaching?

A private trial is useful if you want to meet the team and experience a session before choosing a package. Nolet’s trial is a 45-minute private session, priced at AED 299 for adults and AED 239 for juniors.

Adults can also choose single private sessions or packages of five or ten sessions. Semi-private classes offer coaching for two players, with package prices covering the whole session. For juniors, monthly programs offer one, two or three sessions per week. Compare the options on the Classes page.

Make your next step manageable

Choose a schedule you can maintain and discuss your next training focus after the first session. Progress will depend on your starting point, attendance and practice; there is no fixed timeline that suits everyone. A useful next step is simply knowing what you will work on when you return.
