Kids, Coaches, Parents & Squash – Part One
Compiled by Shawn Patton
Originally Published Feb 9, 2008Part One of a series discussing different issues related to our game, coaches, kids and their parents.  
Why do children choose squash?

  • To have lots of fun
  • To make new friends
  • To retain current friendships
  • To learn a sport
  • To get better
  • To be part of a team
  • To increase self esteem

Some Guidelines for Moms and Dads

  • Cheer and encourage
  • Relax and let the kids play
  • If you yell directions you will create uncomfortable distractions
  • Remember, you signed them up to have FUN
  • Live within your child’s expectations
  • Have open discussions with the Coaches

What would make my child quit?

  • Parents’ criticism and yelling
  • Not getting sufficient playing time
  • Emphasis on winning
  • Poor communication
  • Fear of making mistakes
  • Boring training sessions
  • Poor coaching

Keep squash in its proper perspective:

  • Squash should not be larger than life for you. If your child’s performance produces strong emotions in you, suppress them. Remember your relationship will continue with your children long after their youth squash days are over.
  • Keep your goals and needs separate from your child’s experience.
  • Have fun, that is what the children are trying to do!

Jaypee Juniors – “Surprise-Surprise”

September 27, 2009 at 6:19 am · Filed under ABOUT THE GAME, NEWS, SQUASH IN ACTION and tagged:

It is the belief shared by the author and some like-minded associates that successful championships are about offering complete experiences.

JAYPEE JUNIORS -2009 086

Jaypee Open Juniors Squash Championship a joint effort of Jaypee Greens and District Gautam Buddh Nagar Squash Rackets Association was positioned and marketed to achieve the above.

The need of sports as specified in the Olympic Aims& Charter http://multimedia.olympic.org/pdf/en_report_122.pdf is unquestionable – something that Sports4Health has always believed and continues to support from inception. What started as “dream with few takers 3 years ago today has approval and nods of many”.

Sports4Health felt the only way to overcome the disappointment of being denied an ovrdue Olympic recognition was to get down to the basics organize more championships for the Juniors – so that OUR family continues to  grow and the 15 decision makers who decide against Squash know that UNITED WE STAND.

LET OUR RACKETS DO ALL THE TALKING !! AND THIS “CONTRIBUTED OBSTRUCTION”, NOT DENY US THE ULTIMATE !!

WE MUST NEVER FORGET THE GAME IS A GOOD HABIT TO INCULCATE.  LADIES & GENTLEMEN – IOC DOES NOT APPROVE GOOD HABBITS.

LET MORE PEOPLE PLAY THE SPORT – THE INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE WILL COME LOOKING FOR SQUASH!

While the debate on Squash’s bid and corporate social responsibility continues and many successful private sector  - goverment initiatives succeed – individual support and contributions should never STOP and must be recognised. Joint initiatives in the field of sports are the need of the hour if we are to get the future generations to keep pace with emerging complex life-style issues.

S4HU hs always saluted people and remembered our Heroes. We would like to invite the following people to be applauded – for their support:

  1. Mr Anil Malhotra
  2. Mr Vivek Kumar

Unfortunately, we missed you both on the evening of September 20th due to an extended awards ceremony.

Thank you Gentlemen.

Take a peek on Jaypee Open Juniors – an event we would like to improve with everyones suggestions and support so that all participants – enjoy from the experience.
