Squash
Squash is a challenging and fun racket sport played across the world. At StreetSquash, students are introduced to the sport in 6th or 7th grade, and work hard to develop as players throughout their years in the program. We are committed to each child achieving his or her potential on court and to each child incorporating athletics as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Weekly Sessions
During the school year, students practice three times a week. Practice sessions focus on drills, conditioned games, and fitness. Committed volunteers help our experienced coaching staff with every practice session.

Urban Nationals
Each season builds up to the NUSEA Urban Squash National Team Tournament, and the NUSEA Urban Squash National Individuals, where StreetSquashers compete against other NUSEA members from The Bronx, Philadelphia, New Haven, Boston, San Diego, Chicago, Denver, and Baltimore.
