Xamsa Squash Camp

$40.00 CAD

Xamsa's goal is to support grassroots squash movements by offering camps to club players of all levels, beginner to advanced, at an affordable price. Headed by former PSA pro David Phillips, the event usually takes place at the prestigious Club Atwater conveniently located in Downtown Montreal. Along with 5 more high-level coaches, more than 200 participants got a chance to improve their squash while making new friends and hitting partners. The camp consisted of 4 sessions, with each session emphasizing a different aspect of the game: foundations, attacking, movement and gameplay.

Below you will see the original poster and summaries of those sessions describing the general layout and drills, along with some of the fun experiences.

We are looking forward to running more camps in the future that will be accessible to everyone, and we hope you guys/gals will be interested!

Price: $40-60 for the whole program

When: To be announced

You can choose the time block which can't be changed afterwards:

option 1: 10:00 - 12:15
option 2: 12:30 - 14:45
option 3: 15:00 - 17:15

Where: Club Atwater, 3505 Atwater Avenue, Montreal, QC H3H 1Y2, (514) 935-2431

Eligibility: Anyone 18 years and older who wants to improve their squash skills

The program includes:

3 segments of 45 minutes (2 hours and 15 minutes of heavy squash training for each participant!)

Segment 1: Warm up - Evaluation - Groupings

Segment 2: Defensive Drills (limited shot options for the player with the emphasis on absorbing pressure and resetting the rally)

Offensive Drills: (Emphasis on good “T” position looking for the attacking volley to apply pressure on your opponent)

Segment 3: Restriction Games - Tactics - Matches

The participants will be divided into 2 levels: beginners and intermediate.

Please indicate your approximate level when filling out the form (we will have a quick evaluation at the beginning of the program to ensure a good fit :).

As last time, the program has been developed by former PSA world #60 David Phillips, head pro at Club Atwater. Other coaches and top players in Quebec will assist to make the squash camp productive and enjoyable for players of all levels.

Dear fellow squash players, my name is Tim Burganov and I will be taking care of warranty issues. The following is information about the Xamsa Warranty Program. If you have any concerns after reading, please send me an email and I will get back to you shortly.

The idea behind creating Xamsa Squash is to promote squash and to offer high quality racquets at fair prices. We do our best to avoid any manufacturing defect however if there is a problem, we are here to resolve it. Due to relatively high cost compared to selling price, we cannot afford a no-fault warranty program.

You are the only person who knows exactly what happened to your racquet therefore we leave it up to you to decide.

If your racquet broke within 30 days of purchase, we kindly ask you to assess the damage and choose one of the following options:

Manufacturing defect. If you believe that your racket broke due to manufacturing defect, please let me know and I will arrange for a replacement at no charge.
Contributed damage. If you do not think it was a manufacturing defect, but believe the racquet was nonetheless a little too fragile, let's meet half way. We will be happy to sell you a new racket with 50% discount.
Significant impact with the wall causing the racket to break. This is not a warranty case however we understand how frustrating it can be to break a racquet so quickly. We will gladly give you a 25% discount if you would like to buy a new racquet.

Please note: the custom stringing is not covered by warranty. There is a $15 shipping fee for the replacement racquet (Canada and the US). For other countries, the shipping fee will depend on your location. To avoid the shipping expenses for the replacement racquet, you can buy any racquet and we will enclose a replacement racquet at no extra shipping fee. If we need the broken racquet back, we will let you know and will provide a pre-paid return shipping label.

If your racquet broke after 30 days of purchase but you only played with it a couple of times, please don't hesitate to contact me directly. Please rest assured that we will find a satisfactory solution.

A solid camp overall. I was very pleased to receive personal and detailed advice about my game. Thanks a lot.

Thank you

I always enjoy the Xamsa Squash Camp! I look forward to the next ones. Thank you!

Great training !

Thanks again, as always a very nice experience with great people to help improve our squash ! See you next time :)

Worth the Drive!

This was a great experience. Well organised/hosted event offering content with good explanation and description with constructive feedback throughout. Our group was of a similar level which I feel helped greatly. David and Tash adapted the course content well to the group and were able to keep us all involved. Hope to bring a group next time!

Too many person in one court

I really appreciate your work
I think that would be better if in each court 3 persons are trained and they are at the same level
I will be joining for your next camp for sure
Tnx

Great experience !

Good pieces of advice from great teachers in a friendly and fairly competitive environment, the only downside being that all of this was too short !

Good but too similar to last squash camp

Enjoyed it, coaches/staff are great but the drills were pretty much the same as last years camp ;)

great camp for all levels

Great camp

I really enjoyed it and I definitely leaned a few things. Thank you

Great squash camp

Good intensity and footing technics, but could have used some more tips for the swing.

Durable and responsive

Great touch on the ball. I string about 1-2 lb less than normal to get the power I want out of the strings.

Great Squash bag.

I was looking for a bag that I could put all my stuff in, and it also holds four rackets—lots of pockets. The fit is excellent and comfortable. I would recommend this bag to anyone looking for a good all-around bag.

great stuff

Definitely more power than the previous racquet I was using. I also really appreciate the complete lack of shock and vibration because of a previous wrist surgery. Great customer service.

Excellent racquet for beginners

I bought this racquet after reading a review on Squash Source as I wanted something lightweight and forgiving but which could give me a little more power as a beginner. This is perfect - I play much better and it looks fabulous too. All the players in my club admire the stylish, all black design. Highly recommended!

The only squash bag you'll need

I used to have the larger bag but I'm happy with the condensed size as it still has the shoe compartment and the two pockets inside and fits two racquets and your clothing really well. It feels well made and has great [minimal] branding!

Love the demo program

This is the first opportunity I have had to demo different racquets and I really liked it. Having the racquets for a few weeks gave me a chance to learn each racquet and how it affects my play. I was surprised how each racquet was noticeably different despite similar specs.

Great racquets

I tried two racquets on their demo program and kept both. They have performed great for me and I and happy with the quality.
Only small comment is one racquets grip is a bit loose so I ended up rewrapping it but not a big deal.
Great value

Incognito 6R Bag

The bag is a little smaller then I expected, however, having the racquet's in a smaller compartment allows for more items to go in the larger main compartment. The small pockets help keep things organized. The shoulder straps are a bit far apart but manageable. Overall, a good buy.

Crucible

Great racket.. would love to help Xamsa distribute these and other modes in London, UK. I used to live in Alberta where these rackets were quite popular and think they would do very well in the UK market. Will send a follow up email.
