Based at Rossall School in Fleetwood, we play on an atypical court that is essentially a Winchester without a back wall. I have been the Master in charge of Fives at Rossall for the past twelve years. I have been involved in coaching for Rugby, Winchester and Rossall Fives as well as Wallball. I have also played, but not coached Eton Fives.
