Payer Levels & Camp Times
We have 3 player groups to make it a summer that grows with you. Each player will be challenged and guided at the right level, always keeping in mind that every session counts in every way.
 
The 3 groups are: 
- Group 1: Players with a USSquash Rating <3, training between 9am and 3:30pm
- Group 1: Players with a USSquash Rating 3-4.5, training between 9am and 3:30pm
- Group 1: Players with a USSquash Rating +4.5, training between 12-5pm
 
--> For the training times per group, please check out the table in the picture section.
 
The groups are based on USSquash rating and our coaches monitor the grouping cautiously every day. We place participants in the group where they will gain the most benefit, ensuring the curriculum perfectly matches their needs. This segmentation allows us to focus our coaching efforts more effectively, delivering targeted drills, tactical lessons, and match play opportunities.
 
Every Session Counts
Our philosophy remains centered on the idea that every session counts in every way. This commitment translates into:
Structured Progression: A clear, incremental curriculum for each group, ensuring steady skill and physical training progression.
High-Quality Repetitions: Maximized court time for all, with purposeful activities, and learning on and off court
Mental Toughness: Integrated instruction focusing on the right mindset, on-court focus, competitive approach, and sportsmanship.
 
By ensuring the appropriate challenge and guidance within these new, specialized groups, we guarantee that your unlimited summer pass delivers an unparalleled opportunity for improvement, confidence-building, and fun.

We drop off the kids in the campus of their choice at the end of the camp day. No shuttle service at lunch time.
