The Smith Squash Team is looking for dynamic women interested in fitness and learning new physical skills to come and tryout!
FAQs
“I have never played before – can I tryout for the team?”
In the last 15 years only a handful of Smithies played high school squash before coming to Smith – so the answer is “yes” – you can definitely learn the game and make the team (like hundreds of women before you)!
“How many women make the team?”
The team supports up to 20 people in the program: the top 10-12 make up the Varsity squad and the remainder make up the developmental squad. Those not making the team this year are encouraged to learn and improve their squash participating in the Monday & Wednesday Recreational play (7-8:30 p.m.), the Squash Ladder and Box League (arrange your own games) and ESS Classes (play squash for academic credit!) and to come out again next year.
