June Player of the Month – Georgina! 🏆

A huge congratulations to our June Player of the Month, Georgina!

Since starting the after-school squash sessions in September, Georgina has made incredible progress. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and she brings endless energy, smiles, and positivity to every session. She always gives 100%, showing fantastic athleticism, determination, and an ever-improving range of impressive shots. She's not only the quickest on court but she has a great eye for the ball.

One of Georgina's biggest achievements this month was competing in her very first graded tournament at Nottingham Squash Rackets Club. with Kevin Emery. Despite feeling nervous, she showed real courage, overcame those nerves, and came away with her first brilliant win (on a tie-breaker point 😮) – a fantastic milestone that reflects just how much she has grown both on and off the court. We play squash in mixed groups and she definitely isn't afraid to show her competitors how it's done!. Her confidence, determination, and competitive spirit are brilliant to see, proving week after week that .

Most importantly, Georgina plays with a huge smile on her face and reminds us all that enjoying the game is what it's all about. Keep working hard, keep having fun, and we can't wait to see what you achieve next. Congratulations, Georgina! 🌟

🏆 May Player of the Month – Jeremiah! 🏆

What a fantastic month it’s been for Jeremiah! Having only started playing squash in September, the progress he has made in such a short space of time has been nothing short of remarkable.

The highlight of May was undoubtedly winning his first ever graded tournament with Kevin Emery at Nottingham Squash Rackets Club at his first attempt. 🥳🏆💪

More importantly to us is seeing his confidence grow and his enjoyment of the game grow with it. Jeremiah consistently brings a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a determination to improve every aspect of his game.

Congratulations, Jeremiah, on a brilliant achievement and a well-earned Player of the Month award. Keep working hard, keep believing in yourself, and enjoy the journey — this is just the beginning! 🥳🏆💪

A rising junior squash player from Southwell is making waves on the county circuit after an outstanding performance at a major Nottinghamshire tournament and in his first Inter-county U17 match. 🥇

Competing against strong opposition from across the county, Henry has impressed with his confidence and consistency on court, hallmarks of a player developing rapidly. 🇬🇧

Coaches and supporters alike have praised Henry’s attitude and commitment, noting that his enthusiasm for the sport is matched by a willingness to learn and improve. 🌟

Player of the month for December, Connie!

What a little superstar! Never stops smiling and enjoying her squash. Connie always tries her absolute best and we've had so much fun seeing her grow as a player. We have seen her pick up a squash racket for the first time and now grow into a player who can rally and smash that squash ball. Keep it up Connie! We can't wait to see how good you can get
