Crowborough Tennis and Squash Club provides Junior Squash in line with England Squash and Racketball's Mini Squash coaching framework for ages 5-17.Squash is a fun and exciting sport, so if you want to become the next James Willstrop or Jenny Duncalf, Mini Squash will get you started.
There are three levels for you to work through, starting at FUNdation and moving on to PRO as you spend more time on court.
What is FUNdation?
This is the first level of Mini Squash. FUNdation games teach you about two very important skills, movement and coordination. England internationals Nick Matthew and Laura Lengthorn Massaro are two of the best in the world at getting around the court.
What is IMPROVER?
This is the second level of Mini Squash. IMPROVER sessions involve fun games to teach you about racket skills. Practicing racket skills every day has made England’s Jenny Duncalf one of the best players in the world.
What is PRO?
This is the third and final level of Mini Squash. PRO sessions help you learn the skills and tricks that win matches. James Willstrop’s skill with the racket and ability to use tricks in tough matches have made him one of the most exciting players in the world.
Mike Tonge runs the Junior Coaching program where he has considerable experience working with individuals and groups. Mike runs Junior Coaching on Thursday afternoons during Term Time.
There are three main groups:
| Mini Squash Beginners | Aged 5-9 |
| Mini Squash Intermediates | Aged 9-11 |
| Mini Squash Advanced | Aged 11+ |
The age ranges given are approximate only as ability naturally determines which group is most appropriate. The Coach will be able to assess as to which is the best group for your child.
Minisquash is the version of squash designed by England Squash and Racketball for children of primary school age, to fit in with the National PE curriculum. Thus it aims to develop movement and hand eye coordination skills, with activities including catching and throwing as well as racket and ball skills. Above all we aim to have fun and enjoy ourselves!
For those who wish to play competitively there is a Junior Squash Division,a variety of internal competitions and we also have two teams in the Sussex Junior Squash League.
Junior coaching fees are generally £4 per person per session, with modest discounts for those attending an entire 5 or 6 week block.
We look forward to seeing you on court !
