Junior Squash Clinics at Boar's Head Resort This Fall
Four-week sessions for ages 4-17 run through September 28 on Charlottesville's storied courts
Boar's Head Resort in Charlottesville is running junior squash clinics for ages 4 to 17 through September 28, 2026, with sessions organized into three age-based stages covering fundamentals and hands-on skill development. The clinics began August 31 and continue in four-week blocks on the resort's championship squash courts, making this a rare window for Piedmont families to get kids into a sport that's hard to find taught well outside a handful of clubs.
- Dates: Four-week sessions, began Monday, August 31, 2026; current session runs through September 28, 2026
- Ages: 4-17, split into three skill-based stages
- Registration: Required in advance
- Location: Boar's Head Resort, Charlottesville, Albemarle County
Why This Matters for Piedmont Families
Squash isn't exactly common in rural Virginia — you won't find courts at the average county rec center — which makes Boar's Head's program a genuine draw for second-home families and weekenders who want their kids doing something other than screens on a fall Saturday. The three-stage structure means a four-year-old and a fourteen-year-old aren't awkwardly sharing a lesson plan; the resort has broken instruction into developmentally appropriate blocks, from first-touch fundamentals up through competitive play.
What to Expect
Each stage emphasizes hands-on learning over lecture — expect drills, mini-games, and progressive skill-building rather than static instruction. Because sessions run in committed four-week blocks rather than drop-in classes, families should plan around the full cycle; the current block closes out September 28, so there's still time to get a child enrolled for the tail end of this run before the next session presumably opens.
Make a Day of It
Boar's Head sits on 573 acres with a spa, pools, and tennis alongside its squash program, so a clinic drop-off pairs naturally with a parents' lunch or a spa hour on property, or a short drive into MarieBette Café & Bakery in Charlottesville for pastries before pickup. If you're staying over, the resort's fall calendar has also included live-music weekends on The Green, so it's worth checking what else is on the books during your visit window.
