Squash (Boys)

Squash at Deerfield is fun, competitive, and rewarding. We have a spot for everyone who is interested in playing. There is a recreational program for beginners, a junior varsity team for players developing their skills, and a varsity team for those interested in competing with the best prep school players in New England.
Boys' squash at Deerfield has a long and distinguished tradition. Some of the country's great players over the years have been alumni of the Academy. Henri Salaun, Dave Talbott, and Will Carlin began their illustrious squash careers here on our courts. In recent years our boys' varsity team has received New England honors as few other schools have. Our five American courts were completely refurbished and are now among the best in New England. In addition, the new gymnasium has three new international courts that are state-of-the-art.

Excellent teams require strong competition and our schedule includes not only the strongest New England school teams but also matches against Williams and Amherst. In a sport that emphasizes individual performance, Deerfield squash promotes strong team identity and pride.
