This weekend sixteen players took part in the inaugural
Eventis Coaching Camp at Dulwich Sports Club (
www.dulwichsquash.co.uk )
in south London.
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).
