Virginia Squash with long term access for its programs at two public squash facilities—the Downtown Richmond YMCA and the Massad Family YMCA in Fredericksburg—has become the ninth US Squash Community Affiliate.
Ten years ago, Virginia Squash began its public programming on converted racquetball courts at a YMCA in downtown Richmond, where the organization founded SquashRocks!—an inner city youth squash program providing academic and social support in partnership with local out of school time organizations. In 2017, the YMCA announced the closing of this branch, leaving Virginia Squash and its programs without a home.
