Earlier this year The Grand Bahama Tennis & Squash Club (GBTSC) held a successful junior squash clinic which ran for two months, introducing the game to over 23 young players, many of whom continue to play regularly every Saturday morning.

The Club now aims to expand its outreach with an upcoming squash skills training weekend slated for juniors on Saturday, November 8th and Sunday, November 9th for adults at 10am each day.

The event will boast a special guest coach from the USA, Wendy Bartlett, 30 year veteran Women’s Head Squash Coach at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, one of the top three college teams in the USA. Accompanying her will be former Trinity Squash player turned professional, Colombian born Catalina Pelaez, who was recently ranked 91st in the world. The pair will lead both the youth and adult skills sessions during the weekend and translate through demonstration, practice and motivational question and answer discussions, the excitement and enthusiasm involved in the game of squash. Skills sessions will cater to both beginners and players alike. The visitors will also experience Grand Bahamas’ island charm and enjoy amazing accommodations courtesy of Pelican Bay Hotel.

The Grand Bahama Tennis & Squash Club is dedicated not only to the sport of squash but is passionate about the game and the enhancement of the techniques involved and required to continually appreciate its craft.

In addition to the junior programme the GBTSC also offers free introductory adult coaching sessions once a month.

For more information about joining the coaching weekend or ongoing coaching details and further information about joining the family-orientated Grand Bahama Tennis and Squash Club, located off Beachway Drive (behind Bishop Michael Eldon School and the Stables) please call 373-4567 week days after 6pm.
