North Canberra Squash Juniors

Howdy guys,

As we lead into the New Year, our awesome sponsors Origin Physiotherapy & Wellness have created a stretching routine for the Juniors.

Stretching is an incredibly important part of injury prevention, and should be done as a warm-up to activate and potentiate the body before exercise.

Keep an eye out for the next few posts - each of which detail a stretch to warm-up with

Howdy guys,

Another great end of the year and Juniors Club Championships behind us.

Thank you too all the Juniors for the enthusiasm and effort that they brought through the year. It's just an absolute blast to watch all these wonderful kids develop and grow!

As always, none of this could be done without our dedicated coaching volunteers. I can not express how much their time means to me, and the club.
Massive thank you to all our volunteers, but especially our dedicated core of Gary, Mark, Salman, and our Lucy "Killer Queen" (KQ).

We wouldn't be able to do what we do, however, without the support of the clubs sponsors, Origin Physiotherapy & Wellness and the best facilities in ACT at Next Gen Canberra.

Origin Physiotherapy & Wellness have supported the club the many years, and simply put are the best physio's in Canberra. I want to emphatically state how much Natalie D'Rozario's friendship and support means - particularly making the presentation. Thank you both to them and Next Gen for allowing the club prosper.

Onto the club championships – with a fantastic effort and squash by all the Juniors who entered, with super close games in all brackets – and a number of first time winners!

Have a safe break, and i'll see you all in the new year!
