About Starting Strong: The Beginners Program
You might worry about whether squash is too demanding for a 6-year-old, but we start with high-bounce balls and shorter rackets that make the game accessible and fun. By focusing on fundamental movement and simple hand-eye coordination drills, we ensure your child builds confidence on the court before they ever face any real pressure.
Our 'Total Squash' Philosophy for Kids
We believe in starting early to get the technique right, but we never lose sight of the fun. In our beginner sessions, the goal is simple: comfort on the court. We introduce basic grip, swing paths, and ball judgment using kid-friendly gear to ensure every child feels successful from day one.
Why Start Here?
- Age-Appropriate Training: We keep batches small, usually 6-8 kids per court, to ensure every child gets personal attention from our certified instructors.
- Fundamental Focus: It is not about winning matches yet; it is about agility, balance, and learning how to move around the court safely.
- The Environment: Located at the Major Dhyan Chand National Stadium, our facility offers the perfect space for young learners. They train alongside older, competitive juniors, which gives them role models to look up to.
What to Expect
Sessions typically last 60 minutes and run on weekends or Wednesday evenings. We provide the beginner rackets and high-bounce balls for the first month, so you do not need to rush out and buy expensive gear immediately. It is about testing the waters, having a blast, and seeing if squash is the right fit for your little one.
