Field School Squash Program Powered by Play Squash Academy

We are thrilled to announce an exciting partnership between Field School and Play Squash Academy, bringing the lifelong sport of squash to Field’s middle school community.

This program offers students in Grades 6–8 the chance to experience squash for the first time through on-campus PT classes, followed by an after-school program at our state-of-the-art Bethesda location (inside OneLife Fitness, 4400 Montgomery Ave, Bethesda, MD 20814).

Why Squash?

Squash is more than just a sport—it’s a pathway to growth, opportunity, and community.

Health & Fitness

Ranked by Forbes as one of the world’s healthiest sports, squash develops agility, endurance, coordination, and mental focus.

Life Skills

Students build resilience, discipline, and problem-solving skills that transfer directly into academics and everyday life.

Olympic Stage

With squash making its long-awaited debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, there has never been a more exciting time to get involved.

College Advantage

Squash has long been a cornerstone at top U.S. private and boarding schools. Ivy League and other elite universities actively recruit squash players, making participation a unique asset for future college applications.

At Play Squash Academy, our mission is to provide students with structured, engaging, and fun programs that prepare them not only for success on the court but also for opportunities well beyond it.
