If you've ever taken a squash lesson, you've probably watched a coach sketch the court on a whiteboard and slide magnets around while explaining a pattern. We've brought that whiteboard into SquashRT. Say hello to the Tactics Board.
Why top-down
The 3D Court View shows you how the ball flies. A top-down view shows you how the players move. The spacing between two players, who owns the T, where a recovery path goes wrong after a shot — things that slip past you from the side become obvious from above. It's the reason coaches reach for a whiteboard when they talk positional play, and it's the reason the Tactics Board looks down on the court.
You can also switch on the same power donut and shot ring the game itself uses, so a conversation like "from this position, that ball is out of your reach" happens right on the diagram.
You draw drills with your finger
Building one is simple. Drag a player into position, then tap the walls and floor in order — the ball's path draws itself, and the second floor bounce completes the shot. Save it and it stacks up as S1, S2, … in the sequence bar at the bottom; one press of play runs the whole rally back to back. Rally-ending shots (a miss, a fault) get a red chip so you never lose the thread.
Trajectory styles (solid, dashed, neon), touch markers, player name tags — show what you need, hide the rest.
It moves freely between here and Court View
The Tactics Board and the 3D Court View share the same data. Which makes this workflow possible: sketch a drill with your finger on the Tactics Board minutes before a lesson, then open it in Court View later and polish the trajectories in 3D. It works the other way too — take a drill you built in Court View and reopen it top-down to study the positioning. Where you made it doesn't matter.
Replay it all from My Page
Turn on Save replay during a match or training session and the day's rallies are stored as sequences. Drills you build and save in Court View or on the Tactics Board land in the same place: the My Tactic Board list on your My Page.
From there you've got three moves. Training — the saved rally becomes a coach drill you play against yourself. Open in Court View — watch it back in 3D. Open in Tactics Board — look down and study it. Rewatching the final rally of yesterday's losing match from above teaches you more than you'd expect.
Draw on it, save it, send it
Arrows and notes with Annotate, a finished board exported as an image, sequence playback recorded as a video — everything you need to drop a drill into the team chat is built in. Make lesson material, or share "this is what we're drilling tomorrow" as a single picture.
The Tactics Board is live here. First time? Drag a player somewhere, then tap any wall — the moment your first shot draws itself, you'll get it.
