Students in StreetSquash are grouped by age and grade into teams of between twenty and thirty students. Starting in 6th grade, StreetSquashers study, train, and travel as a team for the duration of each school year all the way through 12th grade.
StreetSquash is a great opportunity for each student to develop individually and as a team member. By the time students graduate high school, many of them have been teammates for 7 years.

We are always excited to learn about our students' post-secondary acceptances, but this week's update was especially welcomed. Our participants are an amazing reminder during these tough times that there's always good to be found in the bad. Nothing stops our kids!
Check out our staff's reaction when they heard that Kaiya, Class of 2020, had been accepted to her top choice for college, Clark Atlanta! (sorry for the muted voices – still adjusting to #wfh 👍)
Show Kaiya some love and take a moment to celebrate some good news today. Stay healthy!
