Bendigo Squash - Investment in our Juniors

Bendigo Squash club is committed to giving juniors the most positive sporting experience in as many ways possible.

Juniors squash is important for many reasons, the health and social benefits are as good as any sport out there, if not the best for cardio and core fitness. It also has a great social aspect, where players have just as much fun off the court as they do playing our great game.  

• We cater for juniors of all ability and make effort to give every player a well matched game. 
• Our registered coaches often frequent our juniors nights, ensuring there is plenty of positive advice flowing.
• Everybody wants to have fun, we foster the off court banter and find our juniors start to take real ownership of the club once they feel comfortable. 

Junior sponsorship
Each year the Bendigo Squash Club sponsors one junior member, with dedicated coaching and other various subsidies we see this junior make quick advancements. 

Junior scholarships
10 Scholarships are offered at the end of each TERM 4 pennant, we like to see the players with the best attitudes returning to our club for the term 1 competition. These scholarships give discounted pennant fees in term 1 the following year plus a few other perks that sees everyone have a good time.

Bendigo Squash Juniors Training

Our weekly training sessions see participants improve at squash with the correct technique and attitude.

To ensure our players get the most out of every Juniors night, we hold a fun training and warm up session before the juniors competition each week. This session is included in the cost of our regular juniors night. We've included an example of what a juniors night looks like below.

These sessions get mixed up from week to week, ensuring they are always exciting and engaging.

Juniors sport should always be about fun, achievement, friendship and cooperation.

A Wednesday juniors afternoon in action:

Casual hit while everyone arrives
Usually consisting of one on one hits or 3/4 court, both fun and good game play.

4:10-4:30

Warm up

4:30-5:10

Coaching
Group and one on one coaching.
Several coaches on call with a mix of experience and coaching styles.
Group coaching puts juniors of similar skill levels together on court to practice different aspects of the game, this provides both competitiveness and team work to encourage each other.
Our one on one coaching varies between coaches along with style, by giving juniors more dedicated time with coaches it helps them to progress to the next level quicker and gives children greater confidence

We will also use this time to perform skill testing to help the juniors strive to hit the next level and provide them with a greater sense of achievement

5:10-5:50

Round robin and mini tournament
This will change weekly to give variety. There are several types of tournament and game play we can use to give the juniors the best grasp and chance to excel at the fantastic game of squash. This will change to meet the juniors needs and skill sets to ensure the kids have the best time possible.

5:50-6:00

Warm down and stretching
Every week we  have a group warm down and stretch to keep the kids fighting fit and as healthy as possible.
