About Euro Squash Tour

 

You might be questioning yourself why you should send your kids on a trip to play squash tournaments in Europe. They already play squash at school, maybe even have some private classes, and they participate in some of the biggest junior tournaments in the North East… Well, the Euro Squash Tour will certainly change the way your kids face this challenging sport and here is why.

 

During the entire trip, the players will be completely immersed in squash for two weeks. Squash is a game that requires equally strong body and mind and that’s why, during the training sessions, they will practice their technique, work on their physical conditioning and develop their game strategy and mental skills. It’s a great opportunity for them to experience the different coaching styles of some of Europe's best coaches.

 

While playing the Portuguese, Pioneer and Dutch Junior Open, your kids will have the opportunity to play amongst the top juniors in the world. Competing with international players will give them a different view of the game. It will expose them to a new level of skills, to different game strategies and to mentally strong young players. They will experience squash in a whole new way, which will evolve their game and make them mentally stronger. After playing these massive tournaments, a simple competition in the U.S. will seem ordinary. Players who engaged in his project with us in the past have developed to become top ranked juniors and college squash players in the years that followed.

 

On top of the squash development, Euro Squash Tour is a great opportunity for your kids to experience different cultures. They will make new friends and create memories they will carry forever. Moreover, the players will become more independent and will strengthen up their bonds of friendship. Needless to say, this trip will be the experience of a lifetime.

 

Euro Squash Tour is not just a trip to play tournaments; this camp will prepare your kids to play the tournament of life.
