DECEMBER NEWSLETTER

PROGRAM NEWS
It has been a record breaking month in attendance (even compared to pre-Covid times)! With that been said, we are looking to quickly adapt to continue having high quality learning, engagement and fun. We have now 3 courts available for the program and we are working on having a 3rd coach. More to come. Thank you !!

Also, as many of you already know, I will not be around between Nov 22nd and Dec 3rd. I have the great pleasure of volunteering for the 1st Youth Panam Games in Colombia (helping with the Squash programing as the International Technical Director). Some of the best Under 23 players in the continent will be attending and hope to come back with some great stories. I will do my best to share as much as possible of this amazing event thru the Instagram account: @squashcoach.ca

More information of the event can be found on their website: https://www.calivalle2021.com/en/home/  and there is also an app you can download and keep track of your favorite sports and countries.

While I am away, I will have limited access to email and phone, but will do my best in responding to your inquiries as promptly as possible.
Now, want to continue by giving a very warm welcome to the new players that joined the program this last month:

  • Stephen Y
  • Nathan C
  • Miya Q
  • Krish D
  • Adriana L
  • Jonah A
  • Luke A
  • SJ A

REMINDERS

  • Check the website for latest information and Schedule https://squashcoach.ca/rhsc-junior-squash-program/
  • Please bring NON-Marking Indoor Shoes. I cant emphasize enough on this. Kids will NOT be allowed on court with marking shoes. Let me know if you have questions.
  • Please we ask that shoes used for squash are not used outside the squash court. This is to avoid that shoes bring all the dirt from outside (and soon salt ☹) into the squash courts.
  • Tell a Friend about our program and have them try it.
  • Follow us in Instagram and Twitter too, for news of our program and other cool stories from the Squash worlds
