junior development
we’re passionate about introducing juniors to squash
At Off The Wall Squash, we offer a range of programmes to introduce new children to squash. From the age of 4 and over, we have taught thousands of primary school children the basics of the game, with hundreds converted to members of our academy over the years.
Primary School Squash
We have one of the largest Primary School Squash Programmes in the country. We have been delivering SquashSKOOL to North Essex for over 10 years and have introduced thousands of children to our amazing sport.
Our team of coaches provide a 6 week programme, using our portable squash nets, to deliver the basics of rules, shots, matchplay and lots of fun games. The final week of the programme is delivered at our Academy in Colchester and then schools are invited to enter our inter-school competition, The Roman Cup.
It’s a tried and tested, hugely successful, programme and one we’re incredibly proud of.
To discuss introducing SquashSKOOL in your setting, or if you’re a coach and would like to join a workshop to learn how to deliver this in your region, please do get in touch.
Inter-school Competitions
Our Roman Cup primary school squash competition is the largest in the country. With an average of 20-25 teams entered per age group, this is a huge event that show cases competitive squash for beginners.
The format has been a huge succes and has been running since 2012.
We also assist with the Saxon Cup which runs in Suffolk and have previously run the squash competition within the Essex School Games.
We deliver workshops for coaches to understand the foundations for a successful primary squash programme and how inter-school competitions can be included. Please do get in touch for more information.
If you are interested in any of the above, please feel free to get in touch.
