Public high school club team squash

 SquashWest offers winter squash for students in grades 6 to 12. Our co-ed teams represent Acton-Boxborough, Concord-Carlisle, Lincoln-Sudbury, and Lexington, and we also welcome players from surrounding towns.

Squash is a growing sport, with 60+ universities fielding men’s and women’s teams, not to mention its inclusion in the upcoming 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

These teams practice three times a week in preparation for the 10 matches they will play between Nov. 30 and Feb. 26 against Brookline, Boston, Lowell, Needham, Wellesley, and more.

Open houses will be held for all interested on Saturday, November 21st (1-2pm) and Sunday, November 22nd (1-2pm).

Team practices will start the final week of November. Each team will practice 3 days per week – for an hour between 4:15 and 5:15pm on two weeknights, and for an hour and a half starting at either 1:30 or 3pm on Saturdays.

Below is a quick overview of the practice schedule for each team:

‘JV / Middle School’ Team – Grades 6 thru 8

Tuesdays (4:15 – 5:15 pm)

Thursdays (4:15 – 5:15 pm)

Saturdays (3 – 4:30 pm)

Most of the players are developmental players – we are introducing the youth into a fun sport that they will hopefully play for a lifetime. We do have a ‘track’ for those very serious players, but we also take a lot of joy in building skills, enthusiasm, and camaraderie among the youth and the teams.

Coaching these teams will be world-class international squash pros Matt Sidaway, Martha Soper, and Chris Mach, each of whom brings with them a wealth of experience from years of coaching across various levels of organized squash.
