Mini Squash will get you started in this fun and exciting sport.
Mini Squash is an exciting game that encourages children aged 5 to 11 to get on court and have fun. Using specialised equipment designed to help children learn the basic skills as well as develop coordination and balance, Mini Squash provides the ideal introduction to squash. There are three levels for you to work through, starting at FUN and moving on to COMPETE as you spend more time on court.
Squash is a great way for kids to have fun, get some exercise, and make new friends. All England Squash licensed coaches are DBS checked and trained to deliver Mini Squash, so you can be assured that your child will have fun in a safe environment.
