Squash
Near West Recreation Squash is part of our Learn to Play Series, designed to introduce youth to the fundamentals of the game in a fun, clinic-style format. Unlike traditional leagues, there are no formal teams or games—just a great opportunity for kids to try out squash in an affordable, non-competitive setting.
The Learn to Play Squash takes place April or May. Registration opens late February/early March and ends in April.
