Our Program

squash :: academics :: activities & community svc.

METROsquash students engage in equal parts squash and academic instruction three days a week after school. In addition, the program provides one-on-one mentoring and weekend activities including squash competitions, community service projects and cultural trips.

METROsquash draws 5th through 8th grade students from three Chicago Public Schools - Kozminski, Reavis and Price. Students will have four years in the program before entering High School. In doing so, METRO will have a significant impact academically and help develop squash skills at a formative age. One of METROsquash's primary goals is to provide students with the skills, support and knowledge they need to enter top local and out-of-state high schools.

Our long term plans include the formation of a METROsquash High School Program and the construction of a facility with squash courts, classrooms and office space that will serve over 200 students and their families for generations.
