Squash
PCC wants to encourage more young people to try squash. Those who try it find it to be both fun and competitive. It is also excellent for fitness, easy to play and time efficient.
It is not required, but helpful, for you to have participated in the squash program this past season in order for the squash professionals to be able to place you in an appropriate group with similar players your age. Unlike the clinic season, squash camps will have a broader variety of playing levels and ages.
If you are new to the game of squash and/or have not participated in the squash program, you will need to be assessed by one of the professionals to be placed in the camps. It is highly recommended that a private lesson be taken to make the assessment and to help acclimate each Junior to the game of Squash.
The Professional Staff is also available for private and group lessons throughout the summer months

Tennis
Welcome to the 2025 Junior Tennis program! We are excited about this upcoming season and building upon last year’s incredible energy. Participation continues to grow, as our PCC Juniors raved about the Junior Tennis Camp and the format of afternoon team practices. With age specific tennis balls and special courts, Tennis has become a very social game and a blast for all ages and skill levels. It is a great family sport, ideal for social events and gatherings. We offer topnotch instruction to help improve your game.
Tennis promotes mental and physical health, as well as fun, regardless of skill level. We want every Junior to view Tennis as a great game to be enjoyed for a lifetime. Many sports are fun to play while growing up, but most of these are short term. By building a good Tennis foundation, you will be equipped to take your game to any level you desire for years to come. Our goal is to create a great environment for all Juniors to feel comfortable in and meet new friends.

• Junior Early Start •
Ages 4 - 5 years old
Making golf fun takes precedence over everything else for children 5 & under. At this age, fun for a four or five year old can be as simple as hitting the ball, playing miniature golf, playing games, using SNAG equipment and keeping golf classes to 30-minutes.
Most kids will not find it fun to adjust and readjust their golf swing or contemplate how to shoot their lowest score. The focus on competition and increased instruction will come later; encouragement, rewards, and positive reinforcement will go much farther toward keeping your child engaged in the game.
