Parents
StreetSquash believes that parental involvement in program activities is critical to each child’s progress and success. StreetSquash staff meet with each family in their homes upon joining the team. Each parent or guardian is also required toattend at least three activities each year, including weekend practices, team outings, college seminars, and tournaments.
