| Tournament Player Commitment: |
In order to achieve the best results any junior athlete competing in tournaments should make a commitment by taking two classes, and one semi-private per week. This practice schedule and commitment is required of all the Premier and Elite team athletes.
Tournaments/Coaching:
We urge all junior players to review the complete schedule of
USSRA JUNIOR TOURNAMENTS.
Many tournaments will have limited draws and early entry deadlines; it is your responsibility to enter before the deadline, entry forms are available at the club on line or can be found in squash magazine. There will be a tournament coaching fee charged for any juniors competing in coached tournaments
Tournament Schedule & Coaching Fees:
The professional coaches will attend various events throughout the squash season as indicated on the recommended fall tournament schedule. The fee for this service $150 per session. All Premier and Elite team athletes will be charged $150--players on these tournament teams are expected to play in as many of the coached events as possible.
