1999 HEAD JUNIOR Summer Squash Program
Objective:
Each camp will provide an environment where players of all ages and skill levels can improve their level of play. We guarantee each participant will leave camp with a personal training program of drills and exercises that will, even after camp, help catapult their game to new levels.
Learning how to continuously reach new plateaus, and enjoying the process is an important part of summer camp.
The philosophy is simple:
We provide a setting for hard work while making the learning and practice enjoyable. Under these conditions improvement is unavoidable.

Tournament Days
Tournament days are an integral part of summer camp. The objective is to watch the juniors and determine how they react to tournament matches, and instruct them on how to handle competitive play in a sportsmanlike, positive, and constructive manner.
There will be an open and a handicap tournament during each session. Camp philosophy is to develop a sense of enjoyment (win or lose) during tournaments and training.
