Joining forces with top coach Peter Genever, the Eventis team have added yet another arm to their growing portfolio of products. The sixteen players were drawn from Dulwich Squash Club and the surrounding area and were put through their paces from Friday through Sunday. Areas covered included movement, weight of shot, technique and shot selection, with some fitness thrown in for good measure!

Genever is rapidly becoming known as one of the country’s top coaches, working with the full range of standards from Malaysia’s World no. 12 Azlan Iskander to players new to the sport. He was assisted over the weekend by ex-professional & Eventis director Tim Garner and one of Genever’s world ranked pupils’ Robbie Temple. They also played a demonstration match on the Saturday, with Genever interceding at relevant moments to highlight some of the areas that should be particularly observed.

Garner explained a little more about the squash camp concept and the Eventis philosophy on it ‘We want to deliver some quality camps to players who are keen to improve their game. Pete Genever is the ideal head coach for this as he has an excellent eye for detail and truly enjoys helping players develop their games at all levels.’

As for the venue, Garner went on ‘Dulwich was an obvious choice for the first camp as it is a squash club whose membership is expanding, and whose members are enthusiastic to get involved any activities that are available. The club has a great history and is now one of the most pro-active in the area, both in terms of promoting squash and looking at ways to bring in people to play the sport.’

Participants in the weekend had a pleasant surprise on Sunday when former World no.1 Peter Nicol arrived to watch the completion of the competition element. He spent time chatting to the players, offering advice and re-enforcing many of the points made by Genever over the course of the weekend. He then presented a bottle of champagne to competition winner, Duncan Elliot (photo attached).
