Junior coaching, September 2010
Juniors are encouraged to take part in one of the clubs mini-leagues which are competitive, good fun and cater for all levels, to attend our club night and to book their own matches via the court booking system.
We require that juniors wear approved squash eye protection at all times when on court at York Squash Club. This is in line with ESR recommendations.
