Junior Academy
Are your kids looking to play squash more regularly? Are they looking to take their game to the next level? Check out our Junior Academy!
Our Junior Academy paves a clear pathway for development - beginning with the first Saturday morning lesson at age six to high school athletes competing in national tournaments and pursuing collegiate dreams.
More Than Just Squash: We don’t just develop squash skills on the court, we build character off it too; teaching teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship while fostering lifelong friendships with fellow players. Squash develops and sharpens a combination of motor skill development and mental strategy and prepares juniors for competition, providing them with what they need to succeed in squash and life. It’s more than fun and training—it’s building tomorrow’s champions.
Two Academy Paths:
- High-Performance Academy: For players ready to commit to serious training and tournament competition
- Development Academy: For players who love the game with flexible scheduling
Our Vision: Guide every player’s complete squash journey—from beginner basics to tournament confidence to collegiate recruitment.
