Junior squash Mavericks Performance Academy
A high-intensity training environment for junior players aspiring to become the best they can be within sport performance, leadership and positive influence.
We invite players to the Mavericks sessions based on their performance standards and their willingness to be patient during the learning process.
You’ll need to have come through the talent development or Mini Mavericks squads to ensure the learning content can be transferred easily.
Our coaches foster an environment where holistic personal development is held in high regard.
You’ll experience an environment where learning from failure is accepted and encouraged. You’ll be encouraged to vocalise and rationalise your errors to make corrections more quickly and efficiently.
You’ll be challenged, not just to be the best you can be physically and skilfully, but also socially. Positive role modelling and leadership skills are developed too.
