2024 Summer Camp Dates: To be announced

What does the summer camp entail?

As a junior squash player, your children will leave camp having worked on technical parts of their swing and movement, tactical awareness and sequencing in condition and match play environments, meta-cognitive development in off court sessions, and will have spent multiple training sessions with Qadry Ismail,. We cover and expose players to ensure they develop in a holistic, age appropriate way. As an added bit of fun, we do balance training through bowling, laser tag, and will even head to the movies and host ice cream socials. When your child spends their summer camp week with Good Nick Squash, they will learn a ton, make friends for life, and won’t want to come home.
