Meet Your Coach: Kit Pearman
Kit Pearman is an integral part of the Bluecoat Sports community and has been coaching for almost 20 years. He trained here before taking on the role of Club Coach, so when he talks about what makes these courts special, he means it.
Kit qualified as a squash coach straight out of school, and his motivation has stayed the same ever since. “I love teaching. I love helping people enjoy the sport the way that I enjoyed it.”
That enthusiasm shows across every session he runs, from introducing five-year-olds to their first rally to helping experienced players sharpen their match play. Kit coaches all of our squash sessions, making him the friendly face you’ll see whether you’re a complete beginner or chasing a place in the Sussex league.
Squash Teams and Leagues
Bluecoats 1st team plays in the Sussex 1st Division. Monthly internal leagues are open to members and non-members. Contact Coach Kit Pearman at bcskp@christs-hospital.org.uk for more details.
Health Benefits of Playing Squash
Squash is one of the most effective full-body workouts you can do, burning up to 1,000 calories per hour while improving cardiovascular fitness, strength, agility, and reaction speed. Few sports demand as much from your body in such a short time.
It’s not just physical, either. Every point requires you to read the game, anticipate your opponent, and make quick decisions, giving your mind just as much of a workout as your legs. That combination of physical intensity and mental sharpness is a big part of why players keep coming back.
And because no two games are the same, squash stays engaging in a way that a treadmill simply doesn’t.
