Tonbridge
The club has been running junior coaching at Poult Wood for over 15 years and it is a real success both from a playing and social perspective.
We run 4 x 55-minute sessions between 8.30 and 12.30 on Saturday mornings through term time. Each group is based on age and ability, with the younger, less experienced ones in the first session at 8.30. There is a maximum of 4 players per court, with a coach on each court. The emphasis is on having fun whilst learning to play.
In addition to these sessions, we also run ad hoc fun mornings at minimal cost, typically at Christmas and Easter and as players progress, they can take part in the West Kent Junior Leagues. These are suitable for players from age 7 upwards and absolutely all abilities.
Coaching is provided by licensed, qualified coaches, and time is also allocated to playing games. The idea is also to have fun and enjoy learning about squash! Parents are able to stay and watch from the viewing gallery if they wish.
Newcomers are welcome and no previous playing experience is needed. All necessary equipment is provided. If you are interested in coming along on a Saturday morning, please contact Chris Gorman and Tony Hooper via coaching@poultwood.com
