As Greenwich Squash prepares to kick-off its 2026-27 season, it is taking the opportunity to celebrate its successes from the past season. The Greenwich Public School student-athletes of Greenwich Squash achieved tremendous success and accolades across its divisions.
Program Director David Chass said, “Last season was triumphant for Greenwich Squash. It was a season we had been targeting for several years and it did not disappoint. As we begin the new season, our challenge now is to maintain the program’s high level of success.”
High School Division
For the first time in program history, the Boy’s team captured the regular season FairWest Cup, beating Rye High School 7-0 in the championship match-up. The championship culminated an undefeated regular season during which the Boys won 54 of the 55 individual matches played. At the U.S. Squash National High School Championships the team competed in Division II for the first time.
In addition, many Greenwich Squash student-athletes achieved individual accolades based on their performance.
