Mission

To introduce and develop the sport of Squash to youth throughout the Province of Nova Scotia and to provide an opportunity for the enhancement of individual skills.

Program

Includes several clinics and tournaments (see schedule) specifically designed to accommodate all skill levels of players between the ages of 8 and 19. The focus will be on skill development and FUN.

Events

Certified coaches will be on hand for instruction and skill development, followed by fun matches between players of similar abilities. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Events will be divided into clinics and tournaments.

They will provide juniors with an opportunity to play in a structured tournament environment. Various age categories will be offered and will be a great learning experience, especially for those who enjoy competition and/or who may want to eventually compete in provincial or regional tournaments.
Through previous Squash Connections success, a group of motivated junior squash players represented Nova Scotia at the 2007 Canada Games Team in the Yukon.
