PROGRAM NEWS
It has come to an end this Year’s Junior Clinics and hoping to see you in January on Wed 5th. Can’t be more grateful of the opportunity to returning to play this year and what had accomplish GREAT things in only 3 months. Thank you !!

When we come back in the New Year, I am very happy to announce that Rudy Goodridge will be joining us again. Rudy started with the Junior Program back in 2019 and he is ready to come back in 2022. Rudy has an extensive and impressive squash career, with most of it helping develop juniors into this amazing game.  Amongst some of his accomplishments: 8 times Barbados national champion, 2 times southern Caribbean champion, 3 times Caribbean over 40 champion, Coach of Barbados team commonwealth games 1998 and inductee in the Barbados Hall of Fame.

Please join me to welcoming him back in the New Year !

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
