Programme Vision:  Squash Auckland will invest in and deliver a programme where Auckland not only develops the best junior players but also uses the training squads as a ground for developing regional coaches. 
All Squads will be staffed with either qualified coaches or those who have been identified as having the potential to coach. 

A head coach will be appointed for all squads. The Head coach will have an assistant coach Assistants willl be different for each squad. i.e. one for U13/U15 & one for U17/U19.

As many active coaches as possible in the region will be invited to attend Auckland squad session’s. This will enable them to  learn by working with the more experienced coaches. 

Squad Selection
There will be 2 squads.  Squad One for  U19 & U17 players and Squad Two for  U15 & U13 players.
Players will be place in squads according to their ability (not neccesarily age).

Players will be selected by a team of Auckland selectors and coaches to attend each camp (on a camp by camp basis).  4 boys and 4 girls will be selected in each age group will be selected to attend each camp.
Players will be advised by letter or email and clubs will also be informed of selection.

Squad Selection will be based on:  Recent results, Behaviour, application and potential.

The Auckland Junior representative team will be chosen from individual players results from selection tournaments.  Non selection into these squads will not prohibit a player being selected for the Auckland Junior Team.
