Amherst College

Amherst, Massachusetts

THE PLACE

The American home for the Power Squash Academy is at Amherst College in Amherst, Massachusetts. Since its founding in 1821, Amherst College has become one of the premier liberal arts colleges in the United States. The college’s beautiful wooded 1,000 acre campus is near the center of the town of Amherst and is the perfect size for campers to feel a sense of independence while not being overwhelmed by a large campus or city. Amherst is nestled in the eastern section of the scenic Berkshires only two hours from Boston.

SQUASH TRAINING

The Wolff Athletic Center, with 10 state of the art international squash courts, just a few minutes walk from the residence hall, is widely regarded as the best such athletic facility in the NESCAC. The two-level, fully air-conditioned facility with separate Nautilus and weight rooms serves as the PSA center of activity. Additionally, the PSA utilizes Amherst College’s beautiful outdoor athletic fields.

AFTER-PRACTICE ACTIVITIES

The PSA ensures that campers have as much fun off the court as they do on. Although the PSA is about squash, we also understand the importance of supporting the whole child. With this in mind, we value the relationships and friendships that are forged among campers and with the coaches. Every evening campers will participate in group activities such as movie nights, mini-golf, bowling, swimming, etc.

ACCOMMODATION AND MEALS

All PSA campers and coaches live in a newly renovated residence hall on the Main Quad featuring well-designed living spaces, along with common spaces. All campers will dine at Valentine Dining Hall, which offers a wide range of food options. Please let us know if your child suffers from any allergies and he/she will be fully accommodated.

NATIONAL SQUASH ACADEMY

Toronto, Ontario

THE PLACE

The Canadian home for the Power Squash Academy is the National Squash Academy (NSA) in Downsview Park, Toronto. The NSA is a state-of-the-art squash and fitness facility which houses 9 international courts (including an all glass singles court).

SQUASH TRAINING

Training at the National Squash Academy is like no other. Not only will campers get top on-court coaching on the “spring board loaded” McWill courts, but they will be exposed to an intensive off-court training schedule. The academy has the latest testing and training equipment as well as programs developed for all ages. In addition, the NSA has access to an assortment of therapies—massage therapy, ART (Active Release Therapy), MAT (Muscle Activation Therapy), among others (please note that this is an additional cost to campers).

AFTER-PRACTICE ACTIVITIES

TOURNAMENT

One of the unique features of the Toronto Camp is the North American Junior Squash Championship. This tournament, held at the NSA, will be held, August 16-18, in the middle of the camp session and admission is included for all campers. Campers will prepare for the tournament, apply techniques learned while under pressure in the tournament, and then utilize the second week of camp to push their game forward based on their real life experience. The same PSA coaches who train the campers during the session will coach them through the North American Junior Squash Championship.

Accommodation and Meals

Campers and coaches will stay at a hotel with close proximity to the NSA. Ian Power will head the hotel chaperoning staff as "dorm master" to ensure the well-being of our campers. Meals will be provided at both the hotel and the NSA. Please let us know if your child suffers from any allergies and he/she will be fully accommodated.
