Our Program

SquashDrive enables East Bay students to reach their full academic, athletic, and personal potential. We do this through an integrated program of academic tutoring, squash instruction, and character building.

Our goal is to help each student achieve success in high school, college, and beyond.

 
 

Daily after school academic support

 

Students receive a balance of tutoring and academic enrichment. SquashDrive partners with UC Berkeley and members of the Bay Area business and volunteer communities to deliver 115 hours of homework help (in addition to the academic enrichment, squash and character programming they receive) each year.

Squash instruction and wellness education. 

 
 

Squash is a lifelong sport that teaches discipline, focus, and teamwork. Last year, SquashDrive offered more tournaments and week-long squash camp opportunities than ever before and saw its first student break into the top 100 nationally.
