Intermediate students will learn various squash shots, serving, and match strategy through drills, games, and match play. Clinics will focus on teaching the game of squash in a fun and interactive manner.

   

  All players should arrive with their own racket and a separate pair of court shoes that they will change into at the squash courts (squash shoes are encouraged but tennis shoes work just as well). Players are required to wear squash eye guards (goggles) at all times during clinics.

   

  This enrichment is offered by Pro Coaches Zac Alexander and Devan Currie from The Country Club of New Canaan.
