Why Choose Our Junior Squash Program?
Engaging kids in sports at a young age brings numerous benefits. Beyond improving physical health, squash promotes essential life skills. For instance, studies show that children involved in sports are 20% more likely to develop strong teamwork and communication abilities. Squash, with its mix of agility, strategy, and endurance, helps teach skills like sportsmanship and discipline.
At Lakeshore Recreation, we focus on creating a welcoming environment where young players can grow and thrive. Instead of spending winter months indoors, kids can participate in an exhilarating activity that fosters friendships and a lifelong love for fitness.
