Junior Coaching

Dear Junior / Parent

Following the recent government announcement on the next stage of easing of COVID restrictions, we are delighted to announce the restart of the Junior Coaching programme at the Squash club. Junior Coaching will resume on the following days:

  • Thursday 16:40 – 17:40 (Intermediates)
  • Thursday 17:40 – 18:40 (advanced)

  • Sunday 09:25 – 09:55 (Beginners)
  • Sunday 10:00 – 11:00 (Intermediates)
  • Sunday 11:00 – 12:00 (Advanced)

THE FIRST SESSION BACK IS FREE

We have decided to stop taking cash payment on the day for each junior, instead payment for each session must be made via your club membership using the Mycourts booking system, please follow here for the link.

We would like to remind all Junior members that they are able to book courts for free during off-peak times (e.g. before 16:30 during the week and before 16:30 at weekends). We believe club membership offers the best value for money, with access to good facilities, a junior coaching programme and opportunities to develop your game.

England Squash guidelines recommend that club equipment is not loaned out. However we will be using our regular stock of squash balls which will be cleaned every week using recommended cleaning agents.

Before you come along to restart, please check your equipment:

  • Shoes – are they the right size, clean and in good condition
  • Racket – check the condition of the strings, head guard and grip, top tip – replace the grip.
  • Clothing – check all clothing is suitable for playing on court and comfortable.
  • Goggles – All juniors must wear goggles in coach led sessions, please check the condition of yours, if you have lost them or they are broken please purchase a new pair.
  • Water bottle - it is good practice to bring a water bottle, please fill it before you come to your session.

Each session will structured as follows:

  • Warm up exercises / games / stretching
  • Fitness activities
  • Technical development on the basics of the game
  • Conditioned games, marking/scoring
  • Warm down, individual development needs

The coaching team comprises of the following:

Derek Norris (ES Level 3) DBS, Safeguarding, First Aid
Hugh Mannerings (ES Level 2) DBS, Safeguarding, First Aid, Mental Health First Aid
Ed Shannon (ES level 2)
Matt Stephenson (ES level 1)
Fraser Anderson (ES Level 1)

We have updated our safeguarding policies and all sessions will be led by a registered coach with DBS, Safeguarding and First Aid trained.

One to one coaching is also offered, please speak to the a member of the coaching team to discuss your child’s individual needs. We are well supported by coaches who have direct links to county programmes and can help your child develop their game through regular sessions.

The coaching team also have plans to organise local opportunities with other clubs (e.g. Wigginton, York and Malton) so juniors can gain some experience playing others. Lastly there are also plans to host a monthly masterclass clinic with a high level coach, this will be at additional cost and open to non-members.

We very much look forward to welcoming you all back to the club, we are also inviting you to ‘bring a friend’ who might be interested in playing for a taster session which will be free to the new player.

Regards

The Coaching Team
