Squash Camp 2013: Day 3

Throughout the day, the campers were able to practice in small groups with their coaches, and went through a series of fitness exercises with Coach Long. After dinner, the campers boarded the minibus and spent the night together at the bowling alley! Here are a few pictures from the day:

Squash Camp 2013: Day 2

This morning, campers headed down to the squash courts to continue to learn from their excellent coaches. Coaches Pete Heck and Bobbie Lou Long led the campers in some serious fitness exercises, and based on what I saw, wall-sits were definitely a favorite for the campers.

One great thing about a small camp is that it really allows for coaches to work with only a few campers at a time which means the boys and girls get plenty of feedback and one-on-one help and advice from Patrick and the rest of the coaches.

This evening, after enjoying dinner in the dining hall, the squash campers boarded a WFS mini bus, and took a field trip to see a movie together, and I have no doubt they had a great time! 

Squash Camp 2013: Opening Day

This afternoon we had a solid group of young ladies and gentleman check in for squash camp next to Griffin dorm. After a quick meeting with their coaches, the camp headed down the hill to the squash courts to begin practice. In groups of 3, campers warmed up their arms as camp head Patrick Chifunda and Coach Alister Walker went around and observed the various skill levels of each camper before having the camp split into two groups for a little speed and agility training. After practice, the group enjoyed dinner in the dining room and evening drinks and milkshakes in the Fir Tree.

The coaches have big plans for the campers over the next few days, so be sure to check out the blog for updates!
