This month-long holiday children’s clinic is funded by Uganda Squash Rackets Association, which is also providing transport, allowances, meals, refreshments, rackets, playing balls, repair of rackets among others.
Former English footballer Frederick Lewis Donaldson (1937-2018) is remarkably quoted “Children learn as they play. More importantly, in play, children learn how to learn”.
This great quotation from the sportsman rhymes well with the Uganda Squash Rackets Association (USRA) children’s clinic.
The USRA clinic is helping the children acquire important skills of this indoor game with the necessary game time.
A total of 17 children are being trained by three senior coaches Raymond Michael Kawooya, Paul Kadoma and Ivan Waswa.
“We are training the young players learn the basics of Squash, love the game and appreciate it to further develop into established players and professionals in the coming years. We thank the Uganda Squash Rackets Association for all the support accorded” Kawooya, one of the coaches remarked.
For starters, Kawooya played at four Commonwealth Games editions (2010 New Delhi – India, 2014 Glasgow – Scotland, 2018 Gold Coast – Australia and 2022 Birmingham – England).
