Juniors Squash in Dallas/Fort Worth is finally seeing some level of growth!

Historically, we've had a kid or two that have shown interest in playing competitively in local tournaments. Currently, we have a group of 10 kids who play regularly and have signed-up to play in the 4 tournaments organized by the T. Boone Pickens YMCA in partnership with Dallas Squash.

If you have kids ranging in ages 8-14 and they would like to play squash, please contact me and I'll be glad to provide you some information on where they can play and who they can take lessons from. For kids that play tennis or racquetball, picking-up squash will be a lot easier transition.

Upcoming Juniors Events:
Squash Tournaments: May 18th, August 18th, and November 17th, 2012
Summer Squash Camps: June 25-29 & August 13-17, 2012
