NBTDS (NSW Briars Talent Development Squad)
The NBTDS has been formed to help juniors with talent progress their skills by getting focused attention from a pool of experienced coaches & players. We run the squad training every Sunday that they do not have Tournaments or state camps on.
We will get 1 camp in each month based on this year’s calendar making a total of 12
Coaches include:
- Adam Schreiber – Former Australian team representative and state coach
- Michelle Martin – Former world no. 1, Board of Squash Australia
- Matt Kawalski – Former World no. 50 & NSW Squash board member
- Anthony Thomas – Sydney Premier league, Level 2 coach and assessor
- Bryan Knight – Top 15 in Sydney, Level 1 coach
- Geoff Davenport – Coaching for 25 years and been state coach of SA & WA, World Masters over 50 champion
- Simon Carruthers – Former top 100 player and coach
We have 22 kids in the squad with an average of 16 showing up each session. We have only been charging them $20 each for the camp and all money has been going back to them for team outfits etc. We pay coaches from time to time but thank fully most volunteer.
We hope to gain funding for equipment, Squad uniforms and to pay a select few coaches for their time. We will use this squad to further develop new coaches for the future.
