The SQUASHTIGERS Junior Academy is a seven day a week, year round training program for ambitious junior squash players. Our aim is to help produce the next generation of junior athletes who go on to play varsity squash at major US colleges.

Yes, we offer a restringing service and can also regrip your racket. Please note that it may take a few days to restring and return your racket, so plan accordingly! Feel free to drop it off, and we’ll take care of the rest.

For the safety of your child, we do not have unmanned access to the facility. Members are not permitted to visit the facility when no coach is present. We ensure that all sessions are supervised to maintain a safe and structured environment for everyone. 

Billing is processed via E-Check or Credit Card. Most payments are posted on a monthly, quarterly, or one-time basis, depending on the membership and payment type. Parents typically store a credit card in their login profile, which we use for automatic charges. We prefer electronic payments and discourage the use of cash or personal checks. Let us know if you have any questions about the billing process!

For juniors, no, there is no initiation fee. Parents can register their child for either our SQUAD program or PERFORMANCE program memberships  which are billed on a monthly, 3-monthly or 9-monthly basis. Parents may purchase our 5-SQUAD pack any time. 

Junior members of our SQUAD or PERFORMANCE programs may drop in any time during the hours we are open to solo. However, they will not be able to use the courts when training (SQUADs, PERFORMANCE sessions, PRIVATE LESSONS, etc.) is running. Most juniors therefore either come before the first SQUAD or stay back after the last SQUAD and use that time for solo practice.

The first step is log in using your credentials that you had used to become a member to log in. If your membership allows you to participate in SQUADs or PERFORMANCE sessions, you should click on BOOK TRAINING prompt and you will be able to register for the session.

The simple answer is YES. Players must be members of the Academy in order to participate in SQUADs. We offer a variety of membership options and occasional drop-ins via our 5-SQUAD packs (when offered). The SQUAD curriculum is cumulative, in as much as each SQUAD and each week leads on from the previous, and players get the most out of the program with frequent attendance.

Weekday SQUADS are 75 minutes in duration .

Weekend SQUADs are 90 minutes in duration.

SQUADS have four key components.

1. A thorough warm up and cool down/stretching segment - designed to mirror what needs to be performed during competition

2. Match play and/or modified games to prepare players for competitive pressures and rehearse a variety of game plans

3. A technical component, designed to first learn, then pressure test aspects of the four basic strokes in the game and variations of each

4. Physical training to both improve conditioning and performance as well as prevent injuries caused by weakness or imbalances

The PERFORMANCE Program is an elite-level, application-based program designed for highly motivated players who are committed to rapidly advancing their competitive performance. This program is an addition to SQUAD training for athletes who prioritize squash development as their primary sport. It provides a comprehensive and advanced curriculum, consisting of specially tailored 45-minute sessions (60 minutes on weekends). Most players in the PERFORMANCE Program combine these sessions with their SQUAD training, attending the performance sessions either immediately before or after their SQUAD workouts.

REHEARSAL Tournaments are in-house events held at SQUASHTIGERS throughout the season, from September to May. Each season, we host between 7 and 9 REHEARSAL Tournaments. These events attract top junior players, while also providing an excellent opportunity for beginners to gain experience before entering the US Squash ranking circuit. Players participate in a minimum of three and a maximum of four matches in a day, starting early on Saturday and concluding by the afternoon. As these events do not impact rankings or ratings, players can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere to develop their skills, while still maintaining a competitive edge in preparation for higher-level play.
