PLAYER DEVELOPMENT 8 PROVINCIAL & REGIONAL TRAINING SQUADS The squads/camps are of a provincial level standard and the kids are all on the same team - Team BC. While there should be healthy rivalries between clubs, these should be healthy rivalries and not affect the goal of the Junior Development Program which is, • To make BC squash players the strongest in the country • To move these athletes on to the next level • To provide these athlete with a sport for life These squads/camps give the junior athletes: • The opportunity to train with other athletes they don't normally have the opportunity to train with. • A measuring stick to see the extra work that is needed to get to the next level • The confidence and motivation to work as hard as "him or her" to reach the next level • The opportunity to get to know their peers better and build lifelong relationships • A chance to train with different coaches, several of whom coach or have coached our national teams • Younger players are given a small taste of travel and billeting Behind the scenes in building these squads/camps, we receive direction from coaches on how to get our young athletes to the next level. "The next level" may be a top provincial player, top national player, or top international player. We are blessed with some of the best coaching in Canada. Our coaches help with squads/camps breakdown, programs and drills, and patiently answer many questions that arise from non-coaching volunteers who oversee the organization of the camps and the implementation of Squash BC policies. Targeted athletes will be invited to one training camp in the fall of the year and one in the winter/spring. Each camp will have certified squash coaches and committees of volunteers coordinating the camps, with some camps providing guest speakers to provide specialized information to the athletes. All aspects of the Program will be conducted in a manner designed to create enjoyment for squash through skill development, camaraderie, improved fitness and fun. Through the Camp assessment process, the athletes will have technical, strategic and fitness improvements identified in their game. Upon completion of the Camps, athletes will receive a ‘Player Assessment Report’ from which they can return to their training clubs to focus on the areas of improvement. Squash BC subsidizes a significant portion of the costs associated to each Camp. Consequently, participating athletes are required to fund a minimum cost associated to the camps as well as any travel and accommodation costs incurred. There may be travel funding for athletes as per “In Province Travel Funding Policy.” 5
