The following is a hypothetical, illustrative example — not a record of an actual coaching session — showing how a coaching idea can move from a drawn rally to a shareable teaching clip.

Imagine a coach trying to explain to a student why their crosscourt kept getting cut off at the T last week. Talking through it courtside works, but once the lesson ends, the explanation goes with it. This is the kind of moment SquashRT's coaching page describes in general terms — here's what it looks like for one specific tactical idea, turned into something the student can revisit, in four steps.
Step 1 — Draw the rally
The coach opens Court View and lays out the point that keeps failing: student serves, opponent returns short, student plays the crosscourt that gets volleyed. Tapping the front wall and floor recreates the shot path — including the detail that matters here, that the crosscourt was hit too loose and too high, giving the opponent time to step in. (For the full rundown of what Court View's drawing tools can do, see SquashRT's drill-builder guide.)
Step 2 — Annotate the idea
On top of the rally, the coach marks the target zone the crosscourt should have hit — tight to the side wall, not through the middle of the court — and adds a short note: “tighter line = less space to intercept.” The annotation makes the tactical point visible instead of just spoken.
Step 3 — Export to image or video
The finished sequence gets exported as a short clip. This isn't a new recording of the lesson — it's the same rally, replayed cleanly, with the annotation baked in.
Step 4 — Share with the player
The clip goes to the student directly after the session, while the lesson is still fresh. If the coach also shares the saved drill link (sign-in required to save and share), the student can open the same rally in Court View's 3D angle or flat on the Tactics Board, depending on whether they need to see the ball's flight or the court positioning more clearly.
Why this is different from just talking it through
Once signed in, the coach can save the rally to My Drills and replay it the next time a similar pattern comes up with a different student — the annotation needs to be added again on top, but the rally itself doesn't have to be redrawn from scratch.
SquashRT uses a physics-based approximation of ball flight, not a full simulation. This workflow is a companion to on-court coaching, not a replacement for it — the clip explains the idea; the repetitions still happen on court. The example illustrates a tactical option, not a guarantee that an opponent cannot volley or that real-world performance will improve.
