About the AcademyEast Coast Squash Academy is focused on developing pathways from Start-up to Professional with the players moving through the squads and programs as their skills develop.
Start-up Squads: Entry level squad providing a fun environment to develop a solid skills base for squash and developing player confidence on court. Will be a combination of racquet and non-racquet based games for kids aged 5+. Junior Development Squad: Targeting the talented players identified during the start-up squads aged 8 - 13 years. These children will build up to one squad session a week, one coaching lesson a week and a competition on a Saturday. They will participate in junior competition and enter Sydney based matrix competitions Advanced Development: Is the next development for juniors from 13 to 20. These juniors do a Saturday squad, coaching session and a comp game once a week. An advanced junior developing player is competing at state championships, national championships and potentially international championships (pending standard). Elite Development: Is aimed at the top juniors looking to play professionally. This is an intensive program that covers all aspects of a player’s game and fitness management. It requires strong commitment from these players, who will be beginning to play PSA tournaments during the year in addition to their East Coast Squash Academy program. |
