Darien Squash
Darien Squash is a group of Darien student-athletes (grades K-12) interested in learning and competing in junior individual and team squash. Darien Squash leadership is composed of parent volunteers interested in organizing and facilitating the efforts of the athletes. All coaching and training are provided by outside professional programs.
Darien High School Teams:
Darien High School Squash was started in 2005 as a mixed club team. In 2007 the Board of Ed approved funding for an official varsity team. The boys and girls Varsity teams began play in the 2007/2008 season. The program currently consists of Varsity/JV Boys and Varsity/JV Girls teams with a total of 36 athletes.
Darien Youth Squash:
Darien Youth Squash consists of 100+ athletes of all different levels. Grades k-8.
Elementary School: Grades K-5 are open to residents of Darien. Our mission is to introduce young children to the sport of Squash while encouraging both competitive play and fun. While players are grouped by age, there is also a consideration for skill level.
Middle School: Grades 6-8 are open to residents of Darien. Our mission is to continue to build on the players' skills, increasing their exposure to competitive team matches and still encouraging fun and
sportsmanship, all while developing a lifelong appreciation of the game.
Darien Squash is very proud of its graduates that have gone on to play college squash at the Varsity or club level.
