Message from the Coach

Squash is a beautiful combination of skill, strategy, and stamina.  The sport requires intense individual efforts matched only by a deep caring for the team – there are few sports in the world like it.  Squash is a lifetime sport that will develop and instill lifetime lessons.  

I was a football and lacrosse player with no knowledge of squash when I first picked up a racquet in high school.  However, the fast-twitch muscle development, strategic focus, and stamina that I cultivated through playing squash improved my overall athleticism greatly.  The determination and work-ethic required to excel at the sport stuck with me in the classroom as well. I carried my new-found love of the sport to Colby College where I played both squash and lacrosse.  Lacrosse was my favorite sport, but I just couldn’t forget about squash.  I work to help my players develop crucial skills needed for success both on and off the court.

Some players arrive at Kent School ready to dominate the league.  However, many will take their first swings of a racquet on our courts.  Whether you’re a pro or a complete novice, we have a spot for you in our program.  Our goal is to provide a safe, constructive atmosphere within the program, and to assist our athletes in reaching the next level: this can include playing at a top-tier collegiate program, or simply moving-up one step on our ladder.  

We are fortunate to be breaking ground this spring on a new Racquet Center which will feature eight brand-new international squash courts.  The coaches, facilities, and current players are waiting for the next crop of squash athletes to fill those courts.  We are waiting for you!
