Lessons
Racquet sports are very popular in America. Though most people are more familiar with tennis and racquetball, squash is deserving of attention in its own right; the game is uniquely challenging due to the fact that more effort, speed, and concentration are required to play it, regardless of your age. Squash is easy to learn at any age and helps develop athletic capacity in any child. Known as a lifetime sport, squash can easily hook anyone with proper coaching and support!
Good Nick Squash is dedicated to teaching the skills necessary for every junior to have success and develop passion for the sport. Our junior squash training is second-to-none; with squash lessons designed to suit a variety of age groups, our junior clinics will teach your children all components of the game needed for long term engagement.
