Adult Squash Camp 2015

21/3/2015

0 Comments

 
East Coast Squash Academy hosted the third Adult Squash Camp two weekends ago, with 14 participants. It was great to have former World Champion David Palmer on the faculty. 

Over the weekend we covered the 4 key components of the game in fine detail -

Technical:
Each participant received a detailed analysis of their forehand and backhand strokes, using sophisticated video analysis technology from Squash Analysis. One of the key features is the player's swing comparison  in relation to David Palmer's and Aaron Frankcomb's swing. 4 suggestions for improvement are provided on a case-by-case basis in addition to on-court feedback.

Mental:
Marc Dussault covered our sports psychology components of the camp as well as presented Avoiding Mental Mistakes To Immediately Improve Your Squash Game.  This is not an area covered enough in sport training let alone Squash.  The Q&A session with David further reinforced the importance of mental toughness.

Strategic:
During the camp, we filmed each participant playing a match. Our coaches took notes on the match and then we passed these on to  our support team at SquashAnalysis.com so they can explain 4 areas for improvement with detailed video explanations. 

I still to this day, remember watching my first match on video and couldn't believe how distorted my view was of how I played. I believed I was doing things that I wasn't even close to doing.  Video analysis gives you an external perspective which you can't have while you're playing. It is one of the most beneficial training tools you can use and with today's smartphones, there is no excuse not to film yourself from time to time.

Physical:
We went through a structured series of routines that build into match play. Each half day session is focused on one aspect of the game (Hitting straight, increasing length, technical improvement and match play).

The weekend is aimed to give everyone a chance to be at there best for their coaching sessions and match play analyses. The handouts and manuals we give to participants provides a structured training regimen to improve physical fitness, quickness, agility, speed, strength and endurance. 

An intensive and immersive squash camp like this can be equivalent to as much as one year's development and improve - in a weekend. Of course that means you need to keep playing and focusing on deliberate practice techniques!

Bondi Waverley Squash Club Signs Up To Join The East Coast Squash Academy

Bondi, NSW, Australia (19, November, 2014) – Bondi Waverley Squash Club has signed up to become the second facility for the East Coast Squash Academy in Sydney, Australia. A complete schedule of coaching clinics, tournaments and activities will be led by a top 100 profession squash player who will become the resident squash pro.

“We looked at several options and chose The East Coast Squash Academy because it met our social/community, financial and elite sport performance goals with the most attractive value proposition” explains BWSC Club President, Steve Greig. “One of the key factors to go ahead was the fact that this was a working model just across town, at Willoughby Squash Club.”

Amongst the objectives Bondi set forth when signing up was to promote and expand the sport of squash across the seaside community, especially for young players with the development of a junior program for boys and girls that accommodates all levels of play, not just the elite. With the signing of this landmark agreement, activities will launch early in the new year with several “kick off” events that will attract attention to this exciting new collaboration.

‘We’re thrilled to have Bondi join the Academy” declares Aaron Frankcomb, the Academy’s founder and Managing Director. “Bondi boasts an outstanding reputation within the local squash community. The club has a buzz to it, being in a vibrant part of town in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs. We’re going to capitalise on that goodwill to create a fun and exciting environment for squash players of all standards with innovative competitions, clinics and activities.”

The East Coast Squash Academy is a value-add to existing squash clubs generating additional revenue by leveraging off-peak time slots whilst promoting the sport of squash in an variety of innovative ways. The numerous benefits for the hosting squash facility include: Increased use of the facility, more members, higher revenues, longer tenure of members, greater exposure and visibility within the sports and social communities as well as improved health and wellbeing for participants of all ages. Even though elite performance is at the core of the Academy’s curriculum, after-school and multi-sport programs are an integral part of the offering and cater to participants of all skill levels from young boys and girls to mature seniors who play competitively at the Masters level (35 to 80+ years of age).
