The Varsity squash team is coming into the season strong, with a schedule packed with matches ahead. Even though many of our seniors from last year graduated, this will not be a major setback for our team. This year, we have many new players who are as good as last year’s players or even better.
Looking to continue our strong 8-1 record from last year, we consistently strive to improve and hone our shots in each practice. Currently, the team is focusing on playing the “deep game.” With a combination of drills and condition games, we are working on consistently burying the opponent in the backcourt, giving more control and potential for offense in our gameplay.
Challenge matches are also frequent, and the ladder is consistently flowing with changes in ranking and competition. With Mr. Drew Parsons and Mr. Rob Trimback-Rios’s expertise, we play squash and do many conditioning activities like Battle Ropes, Core, and running drills.
So far, we have played against Suffield and Westminster, beating both teams 9-0. During all of the matches, we showcased our superior skills throughout these 18 matches. So far, no one has lost a game. During our first road trip against Westminster, our team synergy was shown when everyone on the team supported each other during their matches. As our squash season continues, not only will everyone improve their skills, but also create a new family with each other. After we return from winter break, we will have two games back-to-back against Berkshire and Hotchkiss. We will strive to beat these two schools despite the more challenging opponents.
Current returning players include William F. ’25, Eric H. ’25, Alex L. ’25, and Tony Z. ’25, while our new members are Yuzu E. ’26, Leo F. ’25, TK L. ’25, Louis L. ’26, and Dima P. ’25.
