Coaches and teaching professionals have a deep impact on our experience of squash and help uphold the sport’s core values of honesty, courtesy and respect.
Coaches are also uniquely positioned to deliver the core of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s mission: supporting lifelong meaningful positive engagement in squash and deserve our support. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is a 501c3 nonprofit, and each year must fundraise more than 20% of its $5 million budget to cover costs while we also invest in the future, including coach training and development.
Donations in the first half of the calendar year permit ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ to plan more effectively for the coming season. For this reason, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is asking for your help to reach our $250,000 goal before our fiscal year ends on June 30.  We are hoping to attract 500 donors to the cause, and with 90% of our expenses focused on programs, not overhead, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is committed to being the community leader you entrust to move the sport forward.

ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ provides programs and services to help coaches and teaching professionals serve the community, including Level 1, 2 and 3 Coach Certification. Club Locker technology helps coaches follow players and provides organized play tools to bolster activity at schools, clubs and facilities. The Arlen Specter ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Center, opening in fall 2020, will play host to world-class coaching facilities and deliver innovative coach education models that will have nationwide impact.
The rapid growth of the sport in the U.S. has increased the need for a pipeline of qualified, well-trained coaches to support new and existing programs. ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ initiatives like the Leadership Development Summer Internship program and close partnership with the College Squash Association (CSA) highlight squash as a viable career opportunity for graduating players, and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ also supports visa applications for top-qualified coaches to bring their knowledge to the U.S.
Contributions of any amount are appreciated and allow ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ to continue its support of the growing squash community and the coaches that underpin it. Please join your fellow squash enthusiasts and give today.
