Squash Winter Camps 2025 – 2026
The Ultimate Squash Winter Camp
in the DMV
Turn the winter break into a week of growth, energy, and skill. The Play Squash Academy Squash Winter Camp is the premier holiday squash program for junior players in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia region. Forget boredom and screen time—our camps offer a structured, high-energy environment where your child will receive elite squash training, make new friends, and develop a passion for the world's healthiest sport.
Why Our Winter Camp is
More Than Just Hitting a Ball
Many places offer a "camp." At Play Squash Academy, we offer a comprehensive development experience rooted in our proven, year-round curriculum. This isn't just babysitting with a racquet; this is a focused squash clinic and training session designed for real improvement.
Elite, Certified Coaching
Your child will learn from our career coaches, many of whom are US Squash certified and former professional players. We maintain small group sizes to ensure every player gets personalized feedback.
Holistic Athlete Development
We go beyond basic drills. Our program incorporates fundamental strength and conditioning to build agility and prevent injuries, along with focused instruction on efficient court movements and strategic positioning.
A Proven Pathway
As the region’s leading squash academy, our camp curriculum is designed to be a stepping stone. Players gain skills and confidence that directly translate to our year-round programs and competitive play.
Fun, Safe, & Engaging Environment
We believe that learning happens best when kids are having fun. Our coaches foster a positive atmosphere of sportsmanship, teamwork, and a genuine love for the game on every single squash court.

Who Should Attend
Our Winter Squash Camps?
Our camps are designed to provide immense value for two key groups of players:
The Newcomer (Ages 7-14)
Perfect for kids who are new to squash or have played very little. We focus on making the sport fun and accessible, teaching strong fundamentals from the very first day. It’s the ideal introduction to the game.
The Developing Player (Ages 9-16)
For players with prior experience, including school team members or those in our regular programs. This camp is a perfect opportunity to refine technique, address weaknesses, and get concentrated coaching to elevate their game before the new year.
