[quote=Anonymous]Veteran squash family here and we've been around almost every squash facility in the DMV.

Hands down, the best program right now is at the St. James in Springfield. Josh Taylor, the program director, has coached the National Junior English team as well as many pro players. He has also assembled a team of excellent coaches around him and there are group sessions and private lessons available for every level.

The other option in McLean would be the Raquet Club. The only coaches I would trust would be Nouran or Ikram. They have a lot of beginner kids in the program but honestly, we've had a very mixed experience there overall.

The most important thing for a kid starting out is to get their technique right: proper grip. swing... which is why their first squash coach will be crucial. It gets hard to fix technical issues and break bad habits later. A mix of semi private lessons and group sessions would be good for a beginner. Probably 2 semi-privates a week and one or 2 group sessions as your time/ budget allows (it's an expensive sport). Insist of having the right coach even though many clubs will delegate a beginner kid to a junior coach who may not be as good.

Its a really fun sport with a great community. Best of luck to your kiddos. [/quote]
