Junior Coaching

Squash Stars

Lichfield Squash Club is delighted to be an England Squash Squash Stars delivery partner. We will be looking to deliver our next programme in Autumn 2024.

What is Squash Stars?

Aimed at 5 to 9 year olds, Squash Stars is our new junior programme starting on Saturday 28th October 2023 at 10:00am. This six week junior beginner’s programme focuses on guiding children in skills such as hand-eye coordination, racket work, movement, balance and match play.

Each Squash Stars session is led by our trained Squash Stars leaders, who are also England Squash qualified coaches.

Squash Stars will give your child the chance to explore, play, and make friends in a fun and safe setting.

What does your Squash Star get?

For just £42, your Squash Star will get six sessions and a kit bag which includes a racket, ball, Squash Stars t-shirt and a pair of goggles straight to your door.

Why should my child try Squash Stars?

Squash will leave your child beaming from ear to ear. As it’s suitable for kids of all backgrounds, shapes, and sizes, squash provides an inclusive space where they can truly belong. It’s also an indoor sport, so they can avoid the unpredictable British weather and stay warm on our courts! By taking part in Squash Stars, your child will benefit in many ways:

  • They’ll have tonnes of fun whilst being active and learning something new.
  • It’s an opportunity to make friends outside of school.
  • They can put their new skills into practice and head to the court as a family, giving you an opportunity for extra quality time together.
  • The sessions boost confidence and encourages them to reach for the stars.
