Juniors

Our mission is to provide the structure, resources, and opportunities for Juniors to reach their full potential in squash, driven by both enjoyment and ambition. We coach our Juniors to play with determination, purpose, sportsmanship, and a love for the game, while also encouraging them to excel off the court as individuals.
