Squash
Description: Squash is a challenging and fun racket sport played across the world. At StreetSquash, students are introduced to the sport in 7th grade, and work hard to develop as players throughout their years in the program. StreetSquash is committed to each child achieving his or her potential on court at all levels. During the school year, students practice three times a week. Practice sessions are focused on drills, conditioned games, and fitness. StreetSquash’s experienced coaching staff are supported by a committed group of volunteers at every practice session. StreetSquash team members play most matches against other teams between November and March. The New York City area offers plenty of competition. Annual opponents include schools like Brearley, Chapin, Poly Prep (Brooklyn), Pingry (NJ), and Delbarton (NJ).
