The Humber Junior Squash Academy was set up in October 2006 with the aim of getting the most talented squash players across the Humber area together to attend coaching squads to give them the first step on the England Squash player pathway.

The academies run at Under 9, Under 11, Under 13, Under 15, Under 17 & Under 19 levels and run quarterly at the host venue, David Lloyd Health & Fitness Club, Hull.

In March 2009 a new Under 9 mini squash academy began for the first time which will enable players to prepare for the U11 set up which is the first official age group recognised by England Squash and Racketball.

Over 60 players have attended the academies since October 2006 and a number of players are beginning to access regional and national tournaments with success and be selected for North East Academy Squads.

All coaches that are involved in the academies have an England Squash License, Coaching Insurance, a current CRB check, Child protection and First Aid training.

Adam Toes (Head Coach) said "The establishment of the squads has proved very successful and has created an ideal environment for young people from the Humber region to get together locally to give them a flavour of what will be expected if they progress to county, regional and national levels. We are hoping that in a few years the area can produce a number of elite players and I feel we are already making steps towards this".
