ABOUT US
Darien Squash is a nonprofit dedicated to fostering personal growth and community through the sport of squash. Led by parent volunteers, Darien Squash organizes team matches for students in grades 3–8, enabling players - who practice at different local facilities of their choosing - to compete together as one Darien team. We also support the Darien High School squash team and provide resources to help new families get introduced to the sport
Darien is a member of the FairWest Public School Squash Association (FWPSSA) league, in which we play.
