[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there some ROI on all this outlandish squash spending that I don't know about? Ivy League athletic scholarships or something?[/quote] Squash can be a good path into college, yes. It's the weird sports (fencing, squash, crew) that can be a plus for a kid into one of the Ivy league schools. Squash is also one of the sports that a kid can begin in HS and maybe make the team, which can be just about impossible for soccer and lacrosse, depending on where you live.[/quote] It’s a great sport for getting into college - the teams at Harvard printceton and Yale are stocked with the top US players that started around age 5/6 and then the top international players from Israel Egypt India England etc. BUT schools like Amherst and Williams need to fill their teams too and you could def use squash to get in.[/quote] Well shoot, if you gotta start at age 5, my DS has already missed the bus.[/quote]
