A look at the program in action.
Squash Rocks pairs squash with academic support, mentorship, and life skills. We meet kids where they are and stick with them year-round, season after season, helping them grow into confident athletes, students, and leaders.

Academic enrichment and homework support reinforce what happens at school. Court time is earned with effort in the classroom.
Every session includes a hot meal. For some kids it's the most reliable dinner of the week. Time to refuel, talk, and decompress together.
Mentorship from volunteer coaches and Richmond squash players. Tournament trips, social events, and lasting relationships.
A look at the program in action.
Squash Rocks is based at the Anna Julia Cooper School in Richmond's East End, a tuition-free independent school serving students from underserved communities. The partnership has anchored the program since day one.
The school provides the daily structure. Squash Rocks provides the racquets, the courts, the coaching, and a community of mentors who show up week after week.
Three ways to keep the program going.
Equipment, transportation, court time, snacks, tournament fees. Every dollar goes directly to the kids.
Give NowCoach a session. Drive to a tournament. Help with homework. No squash background required to make a difference.
