Elm City Squash at Yale Reinvigorates Camp Model
|
 Elm City Squash at Yale, directed by Yale Associate Head Coach, Pam Saunders, is constantly looking for new ways to enhance the camper experience.
First, the program offers the lowest coach to camper ratio in the market, and for the 2014 camp season, instantaneous, in-depth video analysis of all sessions will be offered.
By investing in technology such as iPads, wide angle lenses, and video breakdown software, Elm City Squash will provide players with a DVD of their coaching feedback at the end of the week.
This movement, tactical, and technical feedback can be brought home and used with other coaches or on one's own.
This summer, Elm City Squash will offer three weeks of camp, featuring 12 teaching professionals for each session. These are professional coaches, not college students, representing institutions such as Brown, Columbia, Harvard, Haverford, Penn, Vassar, and Yale.
Each week of camp has a different focus, from game tactics to training and season preparation. Players learn the science behind training and reaching their maximum potential during the long squash season.
In addition, campers can sign up for extra sessions within the week that address sport psychology, nutrition, yoga, and training concepts.
Week 1 will take place from 6/23 - 6/28
Week 2 - 7/6 - 8/11
Week 3 - 7/20 - 7/26.

Question of the Week
| New middle school, high school and college programs do not always have enough players to support both a men's and women's squash team.
But when the play established programs, those schools have gender specific teams.
Question: Should all teams that have even one boy/man playing on their squad be considered a men's team?
Or should they play women's teams as well?

TRUTH & Rumors
|
- "Honestly, count me out for any future Olympic bids, I've had enough." - Steve Cubbins, SquashSite's Publisher
 - Squash Ezine will be paying close attention to the St. Lawrence / U. Rochester match this Sunday.
- We boldly predicted St. Lawrence would win it all this year, but they'll need to beat #5 Rochester first, and Martin Heath's boys are looking very, very good.
- 'course St. Lawrence is hosting the match and the top 3 players will be competing on The Red Court... #AdvantageSaints.
- SquashMad.com, our new favorite squash site, reported last week that Ramy Ashour made $169,811.32 last year - and he won everything. Subtract travel, trainers, coaches, and all the other costs of being a pro athlete, it is not as much as one would expect a World #1 to make.
- Speaking of those naughty boys at SquashMad, they posted photos of players who had been hit by a ball.
- But the lead photo of a woman flashing her thong, and a little more, seemed to be showing off more than a squash injury.
- We love Amanda Sobhy and think much less of US Squash. However, the young champion's Tweet this week slamming the governing body felt harsh.
- It was just a month ago, US Squash awarded equal prize money at the US Open.
- And we are struggling to think of anyone who gets more love from US Squash than the young Miss Sobhy.
- Americans are remembering the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John Kennedy.
- Kennedy did have a connection to our sport, as he helped his friend Mo Khan move to the U.S. and get the head pro job at the Harvard Club.
- New Jersey recently elected Corey Booker to the United States Senate. Rumor has it his doppelg�nger, Bates College coach Pat Cosquer helped get him elected, and that the two were exchanging fun texts on election night. #BroMance
- Dan Reagan and Massachusetts Squash do a nice job with their newsletter. Quick, interesting, regional information. Sign up for it here.
