Mile High Squash fosters strong mental habits that are furthered developed through the teaching of academic skills in afternoon tutoring sessions.  The objective is to improve existing academic skills and performance --- to demonstrate that excellence in school and excellence in sports require the same hard work, focus, and perseverance. 

Academic skills instruction will be provided by a trained educator and volunteers from local colleges and universities. 

While playing squash is a key element in an urban squash program like Mile High Squash, the real focus is on helping kids from an underserved population prepare for college.  At partner programs Squashbusters and StreetSquash, over 90% of their graduates have attended college – as compared to only 40% of their peers. 

Mile High Squash aspires to meet the same high goals.
