Dixon's International Junior Squash Camp 2008

Dixon's Squash Academy is pleased to present its 2008 International Junior Summer Squash Camps at The Victoria Squash Club. The camps will run for 3 weeks, from August 4th to August 21st. Participants can enroll for 1, 2, or 3 weeks. The cost per week is $350, and $25 per night for billeting if needed. The billets will be squash families who will provide breakfast, dinner, transportation, and laundry.

Each participant will receive a souvenir t-shirt and an assessment.

Entries are limited to 30 per week - first come, first served.

This year, based on popular feedback, the camp's theme is again: "Developing the Complete Player". We are targeting the more advanced players as the sessions will be two hours long, twice a day. One session will be on court, and one session off court.

The on-court sessions will focus on technique (including movement), tactics, and strategy. Pyschological strengths and weaknesses will be identified and individual coping strategies will be practiced.

The off-court sessions will involve a variety of activities including spinning classes (using the squash club's new equipment), strength training, flexibility training, aqua aerobics, and fun games.


This summer, the coaching staff will be:
