Where every squash journey begins.
Squash Club ASPIRE Foundation Program provides our youngest players with a space to learn and grow through age-appropriate training.
The ASPIRE Foundation Program introduces PreK through 5th grade athletes to squash in a fun, supportive, and engaging environment. Designed for beginners, ASPIRE provides the perfect first step into The Squash Institute at EA, building confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of the game.
Led by our professional coaching team, sessions focus on developing movement skills, hand-eye coordination, racquet control, and the technical foundations of squash through age-appropriate games and guided discovery level based curriculum.
Athletes learn the basic rules, court awareness, and fundamental skills while enjoying a positive learning environment that prepares them for future progression through the Institute.
The ASPIRE Foundation Program is perfect for PreK-5th grade beginners who would like to learn the game of 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.
