Program

We engage middle and high school youth through daily squash and academic programming. Urban Squash Cleveland’s programming consists of six hours of sessions for each student. These sessions take place six days per week at our brand new Youth Development Center on the campus of Urban Community School. We are also proud to partner with Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland State University, and University School to run sessions in their facilities.

The team is divided in three groups based on age, squash ability levels, and academics. Our team members gain opportunities to travel across the US (and at times internationally) to participate in squash tournaments, events and visit universities. The ultimate goal is for our students to be long-term team members who are empowered to continue their education beyond high school.

We operate with a highly successful model through the Squash & Education Alliance. The Squash & Education Alliance’s mission is to support the creation, development, and improvement of urban squash and education programs across the United States and around the world. SEA’s 19 member programs operate in 21 US cities and enroll approximately 1,700 elementary, middle, high school students. SEA’s 5 international affiliates enroll an additional 500+ students.
