Building Future Champions Through Structure, Skill & Passion
At Play Squash Academy, we believe that excellence is cultivated through commitment, consistency, and the right environment. Our Junior Academy Program is carefully designed to support every stage of a young athlete’s journey—from the very first swing to competing at the national level, including JCT events and college recruitment pathways.
What sets our academy apart is our structured, long-term development model. We combine personalized coaching, group training, competitive match play, and holistic support to shape well-rounded athletes with a love for the game.
The Seven Pillars
of Junior Development
1. Private Lessons
One-on-one personalized coaching tailored to each player’s needs.
Our private sessions are focused on:
- Stroke mechanics and technical refinement

2. Clinics
Dynamic group sessions that reinforce core fundamentals in a high-energy environment.
Clinics include:
- Repetition-based technical drills
- Movement, footwork, and conditioning exercises

3. Match-Plays
Weekly coach-supervised matches that transform training into real-time performance.
Match play sessions are designed to:
- Sharpen competitive instincts
- Apply strategies under pressure.

These sessions focus on:
