Junior Program

The junior program at Mirrabooka Squash Club takes place on Thursday afternoons during school term.  

 

We kick things off with a group warm up from 4.15pm, then run 3x 10 minute rotations of skills/drills until 5pm, at which point the kids get a 5 minute break to rehydrate and enjoy platters of fresh fruit.  Once they're feeling refreshed, we then move onto game play.  Depending on what term we're in, game play could be

• Pennant teams format: the kids are placed into teams according to ability (usually across two divisions) with those on a bye (or for new kids not yet on a team) playing King of the Court during that time. 
• Challenge Board: the kids start from the bottom of our junior club ladder and choose someone to challenge.  If they win, they move up a spot and the junior they challenged moves down a spot.  If they're within three places of who they challenge, then it's a straight swap of positions.
• King of the Court: the kids are randomly separated across six courts.  Every 8 minutes we check in to each court.  Those with the most points move up, and the least, move down. 

The second last week of each term features a 'skills check-in' to see what level each junior has reached (Level 1 Pink through to Level 10 Gold), then the last week is the wind up with a range of fun activities such as badminton, table tennis, challenge a no. 1 junior, and more, then a free sausage sizzle supper with awards and skills certificate presentations.

 

Our wonderful Centre Manager Tyron will hand you a paper form to complete upon arrival.  Should you then wish to sign up, Junior Coordinator Serena will send you a link to join via our online membership portal Revo.  An annual (financial year) membership for a junior is around $30.  Then term fees are just $120 for the main program, or $60 for our 4-7 year old program, the 'Squids', which are all paid via an invoice that the system sends out to families at the beginning of each term. 

 

We are also a Kidsport-approved club so funding of up to $300 per year is also available to eligible families (https://kidsport.dlgsc.wa.gov.au/). 

 

We've got a fantastic junior program with 60+ juniors attending our programs and squads throughout the week, and are proud to say we are the BIGGEST junior program in WA - come and check us out to find out why!
