SAXE  Squash Team 2021-22

We are excited to announce that our 7th and 8th grade squash teams will be practicing and competing out of MSquash SoNo, a brand new facility and sister to the very successful MSquash Port Chester. 

We look forward to welcoming back our players and also to welcoming players that are completely new to squash!

New to Squash?  - Register here for the pre-season clinic currently underway to gear up for the Winter Season! 

Please reach out to Suzanne at saxesquash@ncsquash.com or Liz at  ebschmidt@optonline.net if you have any questions.



Program Goals 


In Collaboration with
M Squash SoNo
85 Water Street South Norwalk

New Canaan public school squash players in 7th and 8th grades will focus on the further development of technical and tactical skills, increased fitness and team dynamics in preparation for interscholastic competition, particularly at the high school level. The program will ensure early focus on those participants who have not already achieved US Squash Club Referee Certification. Players will also be able to accurately complete a match score sheet, compete in and understand the protocols for team play and peer-coach teammates during competition. We also welcome players brand new to squash.

All players are expected to adhere to the New Canaan Squash, Inc. Code of Conduct.

Additional Details:
Arrive 10 minutes before practice starts. 
Late arrivals may not be allowed to play as it disrupts the team to reorganize drills to work the later arrival in.
Transportation by carpool. Please be inclusive to all players.
Wear a team shirt to each practice AND match.
After registering, please check link on team page for additional forms.
