With group clinics, private lessons, and a welcoming community, your child can grow their game in a fun, supportive environment.

Youth Program Details

Active Start (Ages 4-8)

Our Active Start program is the perfect introduction to squash for young children. In this fun and dynamic learning environment, kids will develop racquet-specific athletic literacy and body awareness. The focus is on essential core movement patterns, including forward and backward striding, side shuffling, crossovers, hopping, and skipping.

Children will also learn the fundamentals of squash, such as the correct grip, forehand/backhand swing, and building mental toughness through sportsmanship, concentration, and resilience. This program helps lay the foundation for future squash development, promoting both physical coordination and a love for the game.

FUNdamentals (Ages 7-12)

In the FUNdamentals program, kids build upon their basic skills and start to refine their technique in a fun, supportive environment. This intermediate-level program focuses on developing tactical, technical, mental, and physical squash skills. Players will work on improving their forehand and backhand swing technique, as well as learning advanced shots like length, boasts, drops, lobs, volleys, and serve and return.

Kids who demonstrate strong ability will be prepared to enter in-club box ladders and house league play, and potentially compete in Bronze and Silver Squash Ontario tournaments. Additional court time, including solo hitting or practicing with family and friends, is recommended for those looking to accelerate their skill development.

Junior Pro (Ages 12-18)

The Junior Pro program is designed for teens who are serious about taking their squash skills to a higher level. Focusing on both technical and tactical skills, this program aims to develop advanced squash techniques and help players gain the mental toughness needed to compete at a high level. The focus includes developing court awareness, shot variety, and advanced match play strategy.

Players will receive personalized coaching to refine their strokes and enhance their overall performance. Those in the Junior Pro program will be encouraged to compete in provincial and national tournaments and are expected to engage in additional training, including fitness, to complement their squash development.
