Our club has a thriving junior section comprising of absolute beginners aged 3 years upwards to full international players who represent their country at the highest level.

Various group or individual coaching sessions are available which provide a structured development programme for any aspiring junior in a safe, family friendly environment. Pontefract enjoys an unparalleled reputation for consistently producing top class players from its junior ranks. We hold a number of junior tournaments during the year which include at least one bronze event (now Challenger) and one of the best attended Gold events on the England Squash calendar.
