JUNIOR ACADEMY SQUADS
A Group of Competitors Training for Success
Competition squad programs integrate drilling, game play, fitness, and video analysis for juniors engaging in competitive play. Our goal for students in the Junior Academy Squads is to have fun, work hard and practice good sportsmanship. Each competition squash is structured around curriculums that are both tailored to the skill level of each student and applicable to all ages, thus accelerating growth and promoting a holistic development of their game.
All of our Junior Academy squads integrate drilling, game play, and fitness into each session.
The courses are designed to ensure that players of all ages and level feel supported in reaching their fullest potential and to be part of a community of motivated and supportive players and coaches.
The Junior Academy Squad clinics operate on a trimester schedule (Sep-Dec; Jan-March; April-June) and require that students attend all practices they are scheduled for:
The requirements to participate in these clinics are:
-
