Good day fellow squashers – we trust this posting finds you well and staying fit. We want to congratulate our 9 Maryland High School teams that participated in the 2023 High School Nationals recently.
To note – in Maryland, our Boy's programs are under the M.I.A.A., which has 27 member schools and offers competition in 17 sports, including squash. Also, our Girl's programs in Maryland are within the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland (IAAM), which has 30 member schools. Maryland Squash’s goal is to expand the game of squash to more programs/schools and coordinates volunteer efforts to support our Junior programs – for High School and Middle Schools.
At the 2023 US Squash Nationals - 187 varsity high school squash teams (featuring 1,600+ players) contested in the world’s largest squash tournament – the 2023 U.S. High School Championships in Philadelphia. The 187 teams competed across 12 divisions – seven for the Boys and six for the Girls– at numerous venues, including the Arlen Specter US Squash Center, Penn Squash Center, Drexel University, Germantown Cricket Club and Springside Chestnut Hill.
