Junior Squash

Squash lessons are back again!

For the timetable click here
Here is an outline of this year’s program for our youngsters:

1. Lessons will be offered in two 1-hour groups on Saturdays starting at 1 pm.
2. Lessons to start Saturday September 26 (to be confirmed). Ten lessons before Christmas. Twelve after. No lessons on school holiday weekends.
3. Youssouf Mahamath (professional with a brevet d’état in squash coaching) will once again lead the teaching, with occasional lessons from other professionals or young stars, like Youssouf’s brother and sister, or even men’s team members filling in and providing a little different style. This happens when Youssouf has tournament responsibilities elsewhere.
4. We’ll organize a children’s tournament on a final Saturday in May to wrap up the season.
5. Children will have a chance to participate in an outside tournament at another club if they’d like to do so during the season.
6. Cost for the full year: 220 euros, including lessons, tournament and FFS licence.
7. Once we have all the sign-ups we will do our best to accommodate special requests for scheduling and the schedule has been designed to allow kids to do both football and squash at the club on Saturdays in past years (hoping for same again this year).
8. If children are interested, Youssouf can propose stages for squash in the vacances scolaires as additional programs (details and costs later).

In order to sign up for the regular lessons, two options:

1. Do so at the club with the other kids’ activities.
2. Respond by email to me indicating: name, address, date of birth and nationality (all needed for licence).

An excellent sport for children, even beginners and even in the pouring rain they can play. The game is excellent for hand-eye coordination. It is a sport that is very satisfying for children because they can hit the ball straight away, there isn't a net and they can start to have a game. It's also good for tennis later on.
