Caught Off Court
by Aubrey Waddy
Sex and Drugs and Squash'n'Roll
a story about squash... and a whole lot else
Teenager Jolyon Jacks comes of age in the man's world of professional squash, the 'PSA' tour. A chance game against a girl at school leads fifteen year old Jacks to Manchester, and the iron-hard, iron-willed coach, 'Sailor' McCann. Sailor wants Jolyon to abandon his rich private school education.
Jolyon defies his domineering mother, who is implacably set on forcing him to the top of the tennis tree, and opts for squash, full time, good bye school. His vindictive mother cuts him out of a vast trust fund. His grandfather says wait, we'll change our mind, but only if you make it, world squash champion or world number one. By the age of twenty one!
