Summer squash & the academy

Hi Squash players, coaches & enthusiasts,

Do you want to seriously improve your squash over the summer holidays or know someone that does?

We are writing to let you know & to ask u to help spread the word amongst your friends about the development of squash at the club we have been working hard on squash over the winter and have devised  new techniques to build better, fitter talent for the future.

With England Squash supporting us in funding for new kit and court improvements we have also invested in video analysis on 2 courts and subscribed to PSA squash TV to aid coaching.

Will John  is now our club professional who will be helping to  train and coach over the summer.  Will John is now ranked #220 & aiming at top #100 by 2015. Will is now trained here at the club. Racquets are offering you and your friends the opportunity to join in.

Will will be writing up his weekly blog so watch this space.  His training includes Personal sessions with our highly qualified PT’s Nigel Pattison, Martin King & Jack Shrimpton, they have  worked on strength and conditioning, squash specific, functional training and nutritional anaylsis.

Our Squash coaches have over 30 years of court time and international experience Simon Martin, Nigel Pattison &  Sue Martin Downhill have all played professionally.

We will be focussing on all aspects of improving your game & some time on the art of deception. We have a guest appearance set up from a genius of deception Mr Tom White.

The training will generally be in groups and occasionally 1 on 1 – all with qualified personal trainers & coaches.

The cost of this opportunity is just £75 per week (or £20 per day) for members and £100 per week (or £25 per day) for non-members.  This gives you full use of the club for the duration mainly 10-3pm every weekday.

You will be given your own memory stick of video footage of your playing which you can take back to your coach to help with future analysis & we are talking to sponsors regarding a training package full of goodies

During the holiday we will be organising one or two mini tournaments to ensure that you get some competitive games and give you the opportunity to play the elite players we have here at Racquets.

Let me know if you’re interested and we can plan your training from next week or book your preferred days, weeks in. We will happily work around your holidays.

Regards Simon & the team @Racquets Thame
