You really make the sport fun and help remind kids to work hard and improve but also just to enjoy it!

Thank you so much for all of the time you have spent with Chris in clinics, etc. He is loving playing squash and you are one of the reasons why!

Henry was able to make the JV squash team at BHS and the lessons certainly helped as he was able to prevail in challenge matches over several others who ended up being cut.
