The INSPIRE Development Program is designed for 4th–9th grade athletes transitioning from learning the game to competing with confidence.
Ideal for Future Stars and Bronze-level players (recommended US Squash Rating up to 3.0), INSPIRE prepares athletes for Middle School squash, high school competition, and US Squash tournaments.
Training combines:
- Technical development
- Tactical awareness
- Athletic development
- Competitive match play and game strategy
Players develop stronger swing mechanics, movement, rally construction, shot selection, and decision-making through engaging drills, conditioned games, and guided match play.
INSPIRE Development is perfect for 4th-9th grade players who would like to prepare for Middle or Upper School squash.
All Squash Institute events are held at EA’s state-of-the-art Madeira Squash Pavilion in the Dixon Athletic Center, featuring 10 glass-walled courts and a spectator pavilion.
