What else is on offer for a Junior Squash player at BBRC?
Coaching, Training, Competitions
We have a range of coaching and training options available for juniors of all ages and levels. Our group squad training programmes teach juniors squash in a fun group type programme, while introducing them to other juniors at the club. For those wanting to accelerate their squash progress there are also individual coaching options available.
Once juniors have been playing squash for a few terms and can consistently serve and rally then they can get involved in the Double Dot Squash Junior Tournament Series and compete against other juniors from around Auckland.
