My Squash Experience

My experience of squash is that it’s really fun, you make lots of friends and once you play it you want to play it more and more. The reason I play in tournaments is because there is a program that’s really fun at Harvard called Kidsquash.

Not only do you learn squash but you do games and relay races with professional coaches Renato, an instructor at Kidsquash who was also the number one junior squash player in Brazil told me that I could come and practice on weekdays too. After my summer vacation he became my coach and encouraged me to get a ranking, participate in tournaments and travel. I've already competed in a tournament in New Hampshire and soon will be playing in the New England Open.

If you’re wondering where Kidsquash is, it’s in the Murr Center at Harvard. You should really come because it’s a lot of fun and you don’t want to miss out. Kidsquash is every Saturday at 10:30AM. So see you there.

Kidsquash is a 501c3 nonprofit organization
