Established in 2012, Urban Squash Cleveland is a youth development organization that combines instruction in the sport of squash, academic support, and enrichment opportunities to empower students to reach their potential. Through regular squash practice and competitions, students' passion for the sport helps them develop healthy habits, endurance, coordination, physical and mental awareness, and discipline. Students prepare to pursue a personally meaningful post-secondary opportunity through homework support, ACT & SAT tutoring, financial literacy development, and STEM projects. Team members participate in cooking and gardening classes, yoga, field trips, internships, camps and travel to cities and colleges across the country as they form relationships with mentors and volunteers. Urban Squash Cleveland recently opened a brand new state of the art facility on the campus of Urban Community School in the vibrant Ohio City neighborhood. The facility has four squash courts, along with two classrooms, an office and locker rooms. Memberships, lessons, clinics and leagues are available to anyone in the community who wants to play squash.
