Lunatic Squash Clinic 2008
 In the month of September, the Genesee Valley Club hosted the second annual RSRA Youth Clinic, a four session clinic for kids and teens (ages 8 and older)spread over four weeks and instructed by Kate Guyer and Eric Hernady.

Clinic organizer and RSRA Junior Development board member, Troy Zarcone reports:
Another Youth Squash Clinic was hosted by the Genesse Valley Club and coached by Kate Guyer and Eric Hernady. The clinic lasted 4 weeks and the ages ranged from 8 to 16 years old. They covered the rules of squash and then worked on basic skills with a series of drilling games. The most popular drills were “Squicket” and “Junk Food”. Squicket is a hybrid of the game cricket, played on a squash court and junk food has you waiting to jump into action when you hear your favorite desert called. Both games involve a lot of running, sweating and laughing. As can been seen from the photos, everyone involved had way to much fun.
