Time to see how your fitness stacks up against our RJSA kids! 💥

The Challenge:

2 Minutes: Count how many court sprints you can complete. You MUST touch the wall on each turn! (there = 1, back = 2).

1 Minute: STRICT 60-second rest.

2 Minutes: Repeat court sprints.

Log your scores: Drop your total for both rounds in the comments!

Note: Half lengths don't count, so make sure you hit that wall every time!

Show us what you''ve got! 👇🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

Another incredible success story from the RJSA! 🏆

Huge congratulations to Ivana Preston (pictured right) on being selected to represent New Zealand as part of the National Secondary School Junior Team.

To top off an already amazing achievement, Ivana was named the #1 player in the junior (year 9 and 10) squad!

This is a direct result of the relentless effort, focus, and commitment she brings to every single training session.

She is currently over in Australia competing on the national stage.

Good luck, Ivana—everyone at RJSA is super proud of you! 🇳🇿✨

The crew is looking sharp in their new RJSA gear!

We are now 3/4's through the programme, and what an inspiring inaugural year it has been for the Academy. Such a pleasure working with this squad and walking alongside them in their squash journeys

The kids are training hard in their final push for Junior Nationals in Auckland starting October 2nd.

Stay tuned!
