The Program

During the winter season, all three divisions of the School have access to squash, with the goal of building lifelong skills, appreciation, and enjoyment of the sport. In the lower school sports rotations, Classes 3-5 learn how to play the game, incorporating fundamentals of technique, ball control, movement, and strategy, all put into practice through fun games and exercises. Middle school students who elect to play squash implement a more challenging framework of squash-specific practices, with a greater focus on technical development, coordinated shot sequences, and structured games. Upper school squash builds on the above concepts while integrating advanced versions of drills, conditioned games, and match analysis. Injury prevention and strength and conditioning also play a key part in training to meet the greater physical demands of the game.
