The 412 Squash Tournament Prep Squad is a top-tier, invitation-only training program designed for experienced junior players who are serious about accelerating their development and competing at a higher level in US Squash tournaments. This program is intended for athletes who are willing to make a significant commitment to their training, embrace a high-performance environment, and pursue long-term competitive excellence.

​

Led by experienced tournament coaches, each 75-minute session combines the essential technical, tactical, physical, and mental components required to succeed in tournament competition. Training is fast-paced, demanding, and purposeful, with an emphasis on deliberate practice, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Requirements for Tournament Prep:

 

Tournament Prep Training is reserved for players who consistently demonstrate a strong work ethic, competitive mindset, coach ability, and a desire to challenge themselves. To ensure consistent development, athletes are expected to commit to either three Tournament Prep sessions per week or two sessions per week combined with one weekly private lesson.

 

Players are also expected to compete regularly in sanctioned tournaments and contribute positively to a high-performance training culture where everyone is committed to helping one another improve.

​

Players are expected to arrive on time, prepared, and ready to train for every session. Punctuality, professionalism, effort, and accountability are core expectations of the program, and athletes will be held to high standards both on and off the court.

​

Success in tournament squash requires consistent work beyond scheduled clinics. In addition to the required training commitment, players are strongly encouraged to supplement their development through private lessons, supervised solo hitting sessions, court rentals, match play, and independent strength and conditioning. The athletes who improve the fastest are those who embrace a growth mindset and consistently seek opportunities to train outside of organized practice.

Joining our Tournament Prep Squad requires a coach’s invitation or a successful evaluation. All Junior Tournament Prep players may be asked to complete an ability assessment with a 412 Squash coach to determine their ideal placement. Our Junior Tournament Prep squad operates on a trimester basis (September–December, January–March, and April–June).
