Information for students and families who think Squash Haven might be right for them:

Squash Haven is a FREE after-school program for 5th through 12th graders that cotinues to work with students individually through college and into career.
Squash Haven combines academic enrichment, homework help, training in the sport of squash, college preparation, community service, and additional travel and enrichment opportunities.
Programming runs throughout the school year and includes a five-week summer camp

Squash Haven welcomes young people into a supportive, nurturing, and dedicated community of students and staff.
Squash Haven sticks by team members and their families for up to a 14 year commitment.
79% of team members attend top 100 colleges and universities.
College team members receive over $2.1 million annually in financial aid scholarships and awards.
50% of team members play squash in college.

Students come three or more days per week for 2-3 hour sessions.
Students are making a long-term commitment to Squash Haven. After the tryout period, students make the team. Their spot is reserved through middle school, high school, and college.
Attendance is a priority! Team members are asked to maintain 90% attendance.

Students in grades 5-11 are eligible to try out for the team. Tryouts typically run throughout the fall, though we will consider candidates throughout the year if there is room in a particular grade.
New team members are selected after a rigorous tryout process that includes academic and athletic tryouts at Yale as well as a written application, teacher recommendations, and family interviews.
Our primary selection variables are academic and athletic motivation and commitment. We also proactively seek team members from low income families who will be the first in their family to graduate from college.
Please see our eligibility requirements and reach out to Tryouts Coordinator Mike Greer (mike@squashhaven.org) for more information.
