High Performance

The Squash BC High Performance Program aims to support our province’s top junior athletes with competitive training and development opportunities, including programming, camps, and access to high-quality coaching. The program is guided by our Provincial High Performance Coach and administered by our office team.

Squash BC works collaboratively with Squash Canada to ensure our high performance athletes have competitive opportunities at the National and International scale. Learn more about Squash Canada’s National Squad Program.

New High Performance Program

Squash BC launched our revised High Performance Program in 2020, with first program sessions occurring in 2021. Information about the program, including athlete selection criteria and requirements, can be found in our High Performance Overview Presentation. A video recording of this presentation (from December 2020) is also available here: High Performance Presentation Video.

As part of the new High Performance Program, Squash BC approved our updated High Performance Policies and Procedures and contracted our Provincial High Performance Coach
