Description
Our EA Elite Day Program program is designed to challenge and teach advanced juniors. Players should have previous experience in competitive match play and be proficient in all aspects of the game. The program week will involve intense work on-court, plenty of match play, off court physical training and will include a 1:1 on-court lesson.
Due to the limited number of player spaces and high number of coaches, each player has unrivaled access to quality advice on a continual basis. Challenge matches between the coaches will take place throughout the week to emphasize coaching points brought up in the sessions. Fitness levels should be above average prior to the Elite program week in order to ensure maximum benefit.
Off-court training with Jessica involves AM sessions exclusive to squash-specific training, involving circuits and aerobic/anaerobic testing. PM core and stretching sessions will focus on awareness of the importance of core strength for the improvement of squash ability, and stretching as a tool against injury. A consistent approach will be followed in order to ensure the knowledge of correct posture during each specific exercise, and to allow each individual to understand a routine which can be replicated post–camp.
Coaches’ notes and a detailed stretching & core document will be given to each player upon completing a great week!
