SQUASH CANADA SKILL AWARDS PROGRAM

The Squash Canada Skill Awards Program is intended to:skills award

  • motivate and reward players,
  • to increase the number of participants in the game and
  • improve their standard of play while having FUN.

FOR AGES 7 - 14 WITH 12 LEVELS
The program is designed for ages 7-14 although coaches may wish to include players outside that age group as they see fit. To effectively teach the program the coach should be certified at a minimum of Level 1. There are 12 levels:

  • 1-6 – beginners
  • 7-10 – intermediate
  • 11-12 – advanced

Each level consists of a series of skills and a point value. We have also included games related to the skills.

FROM BASIC RACQUET SKILLS TO ADVANCED STROKES
The skills in this program are structured so that it takes the athlete from the basic racquet skills of a recreational junior to the advance strokes of a high performance junior. While it is intended to be a measuring stick for the junior athlete from the first time he or she picks up the racquet to his/her participation in junior tournaments, it can also be used for adults who are in the same situation.

PROGRAM PACKAGE
This program is designed to help you by creating a great learning environment for your students. The program package consists of:

  • 1 program binder
  • 1 promotional poster
  • 1 club wall chart to keep track of the students’ progress
  • 40 badge certificates
  • 1 colour badge certificate for the coach to display

Each level has a different coloured badge which can be stuck on the badge certificate or sewn on a squash bag. Badges can be purchased separately.
