Totball/Mini Squash – introduces youngsters between the ages of 5 and 10 to the game of squash in a FUN filled and safe environment. This Australian-developed programme was introduced to South Africa through World of Squash in 2000. Age appropriate games are used to develop the fundamental skills related to bat and ball activities. Equipment is adapted to the age of the players (ie mini rackets). A positive reward system (certificates, ribbons, medals) encourages the players to progress through the different levels of the programme. The emphasis of the Totball/Mini Squash Programme is to build a love for the game.

Junior Coaching – this year-round programme emphasizes basic squash development. Coaching is aimed at improving the skills level and, although fitness and strength & conditioning sessions are held, the emphasis is more on dual-sided muscular development than actual fitness. Players are introduced to competitive play in a controlled environment.

Advanced Coaching – a minimum requirement for players to be promoted to this programme is participation on a Junior National level. Advanced squash skills are introduced and implemented in matches at tournaments and league fixtures. Camps (which include educationals) are held throughout the year to consolidate improved skills and tactics. Bio-kineticists, Physiotherapists and Nutritionists play a complementary role at this level and strength & conditioning, fitness and flexibility are areas of increased importance.
