We Know The Barriers Are Real.
Here’s how we work to remove them:
Transportation
We build partnerships with community leaders and businesses to create solutions to address transportation barriers. We build informal networks of supporters who create practical solutions like ride sharing. We seek advocacy opportunities to reimagine current transportation options.
Supportive Staff
We organize events, tournaments, and social gatherings to foster a sense of belonging and community among players, parents/supporters, and sponsors. In this way we create a support system beyond the squash program delivery itself.
Financial Constraints
By highlighting success stories, testimonials, and the overall positive impact of the program we build sponsorships with local supporters to ensure nobody gets left behind.
Ready To See If Squash Is Your Game?
The program is run well. The administration is excellent. Communication is excellent. Fees are reasonable. Coaching supervision is great. Coaches are doing a wonderful job instructing athletes and pushing them to perform to the best of their ability. Athletes are having fun and learning new skills. They are motivated. They are interested in attending every week and look forward to it. As a parent I feel it is a good use of my time to ensure my son gets to squash because I believe it benefits him socially, physically and mentally. Thanks to you and the coaches for an extremely well run program that is very much enjoyed by the athletes.

I think the Squash Program is awesome. The coaches are really nice and treat me with respect. They encourage me to learn things that I never thought I was able to do. I have better balance and coordination because of the Squash Program and my power of concentration has improved too.
