juniors to become good squash

players. Participation in tournaments,

fitness and mental strength are also

part of the package that CJS is trying

to teach the players.

The slogan for CJS is : - “ One step

at a time” or more precise : “One

shot at a time” Coaches teach play-

ers to believe in themselves and to

step onto court with an attitude of I

can and I shall! Congratulations to all

those who did exactly that !

For the last 13 years Centurion

Junior Squash has grown into a

dynamic junior coaching group

where junior players develop

from not being able to hit a ball

into players competing against

the best in the country.

This year was no difference with

12 x CJS players qualifying to

participate in the SA Country

Schools Festival. To top that up

36 players received provincial

colors and representing

Gauteng North in the annual

Inter Provincial Tournament all

around South Africa.

From those players participating

in the IPT 3 of our players also

received SA Top 10 medals.

They are :

Valme Webster u14

Nico Ras u 19,

Jeanemie Vorster u14.

Maryna Fourie Head Coach of

Centurion Junior Squash said

that the reason for this year’s

success is mainly due to the

dedicated and passionate team

of coaches involved with CJS.

To get results like this also need

total commitment from the

parents and hats off to the CJS

parents for their involvement

and support during the 2016

season.

Other secrets for CJS success

are if players start attending

squash lessons at an early age.

During the early years they do

lots of hand-eye coordination

games and in the end this helps

great fun. Please

When CJS was founded 13 years ago our

main venue for coaching was Uitsig Squash

Courts. In years that gone by we were privi-

lege to add Midstream College courts also as

a venue. Last term excitement ran high when

we open up the 3 brand new courts at

Midstream Ridge for the first time. Kentron

courts also gave us the green light for

coaching and soon we will start there. We

inform you hereby - CJS Coaching now

weekly on 4 different venues for your

convenience.

please support us in all our

fundraising events.

On Wednesday evening 7 Sep

we invite you to attend a 90’s

show at Barnyard @R180 pp.

Lets make this evening a

squash party like never before

Food can be ordered and the

hostess of your table will

confirm details. If you are

willing to buy tickets or make

a donation or know of a com-

pany who would make a do-

nation towards our America

they depart on 8 Dec to

Florida Orlando for a week of

training at the David Palmer

Squash academy. The group

will then fly to Connecticut to

participate in the US Open

17 –20 Dec 2016

In order to make this dream

come true we still need lots

of funds and I would like to

ask the CJS community to

open up the new courts

CJS reach out to Down Syndrome Children

P A G E 3 V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

A wise man once said life is a col-

lection of moments. CJS had the

privilege to share such moments

last term with Down Syndrome

PTA during their Warrior-type

obstacle race. I want to thank

Magda Lourens

chairlady of this

organisation for

the opportunity

we had to made

a difference by

helping and

assisting these

special children

during the

Warrior race. One of our CJS play-

ers made the comment on this

day… I never felt this good about

something I did! Was indeed an eye

opener for our players and an awe-

some event to give something back.

FB post of the chairlady

of Down Syndrome

PTA on April 16 – :

The CJS team was such

a blessing today, It

made me think of these

wise words “If you

want to see the true measure of a

man (or woman) watch how he/

she treats his inferiors, not his

equals” J.K. Rowling. What I saw

today made me so proud of our

young people.

Thank you for your open hearts

and hands. Luv to you all

met Ramy Ashour and Amr

Shabana. 6 out of the top ten

men world rankings currently

from Egypt. Looking forward to

hear what secrets JP brought

back to CJS from Egypt!

One of

our CJS

coaches

JP Brits

just

arrived

back

from Egypt. He had the wonder-

ful opportunity to practice for 2

weeks in Egypt together with

World no 8 Karim Abdel

Gawad. While in Egypt he also

as the players from

Entheos Christian College

and Tswane University of

Technology. The players

and coaches enjoyed it

very much and CJS would

like to thank Squash SA

for funding this development pro-

ject. We also would like to thank

Uitsig Squash Club who made their

courts available for these 75 players.

Earlier this year CJS coaches had

the privilege to present a Women

in Sport Development clinic for

the ladies from Uitsig High as well

Many parents contact CJS to

enquire regarding private one to

one coaching sessions. We

would love to help players to

improve their game as long as

players don't overdue and lose

interest in squash. Our believe

is that junior players can do one

to one coaching but must prac-

tice in a group first in order to

“I never felt this good about

something I did”

Private coaching socialize and have fun.

Facebook group : Centurion Junior Squash

Centurion Junior Squash is a coaching group where all players

from pre-school to Gr. 12 can join with the primary goal to

learn the game of squash.

Currently there are representatives from 15+ Centurion

schools involved in the groups and thus the reason for the

name “Centurion Junior Squash” so that all schools in the area

can be included.

Our main goal for this coaching group is to provide an environ-

ment where players can have fun, make friends, relieve stress

caused by pressing school commitments. Players must learn

something new about themselves, about squash, and about

sportsmanship!

We strive to empower each junior with the basic facets of the

game, racquet work, hand eye coordination, fitness, as well as the

rules of the game.

Even though winning is important in

any sport and we also strive towards

it, it is more important to us that

each child that enrols in Centurion

Junior Squash grows within

themselves.
