During the Winter school holidays, Burnside Squash Club hosted a 2-day KidsFest Event on 9 - 10th July, to foster junior membership at the club and in the wider Christchurch area.

KidsFest has been running since 1992, and is a programme of events to keep kids entertained over the Winter holidays. It has hundreds of events & activities that take place in Christchurch, Banks Peninsula, Waimakariri and Selwyn Districts. Click here for more information on KidsFest.

"Give Squash a Go" proved a popular event with nearly 60 children in total attending the 6 two-hour sessions of squash fitness, ball skills and games. Tickets where bought via Dash Tickets and cost $4 per child.

Practically all the children involved were brand new to squash, so hopefully some will be inspired to carry on with our favourite sport.  The sessions were full of energy, fun and there were some promising potential squash players emerging from the groups.  

All the KidsFest children were sent home with an information sheet, and will be followed up by email, to maximise all opportunities to grow the junior squash numbers in Christchurch.
