College Recruiting

Being a top junior squash player gives students the necessary edge to be admitted to some of the nation’s most prestigious colleges. Close to 90 of the top schools in the US have varsity squash teams on the men’s and women’s side.

Our founder Aria was recruited to the University of Rochester to play squash. He is now excited to share his insight, experience, and expertise about college squash and the recruiting process with his students.

Yellow Jackets’ Historic Season

University of Rochester Men’s squash team has been competing in the division one of college squash association since arrival of former world #4 Martin Heath as their head squash coach. The Yellow Jackets made history in 2015-16 by reaching the highest national ranking of #1 after beating the defending champions, Trinity College. In that same season the Yellow Jackets went onto beat Trinity College again in the College Squash National Championship semi-finals. Our founder Aria was part of this historic team and competed at the #6 spot. At the end of that season, Aria was given the honor of the most improved player of the year by his coaches and teammates. This was the Yellow Jackets’ first time competing in the College National Championship finals in the history of Rochester squash.

Team Work Dedication Concentration

Over the past two decades college squash has been steadily growing. The sport that once was known as the Ivy League sport is now played by over 90 college teams around the country. It has drawn squash players from around the world, and has become an integral step on the journey to becoming a professional squash player. Not only do college squash players have the opportunity to learn from world class coaches such as Martin Heath (former world #4 and former US Junior National Team coach) of the University of Rochester, Mike Way of Harvard University, John White (former world #1) of Drexel University, and many more talented coaches, they also have the opportunity to train with their teammates.

Because squash is an individual sport, many junior players and pros miss out on the benefits of a team environment. College squash players learn leadership, team work, and a new level of commitment. The pressure of performing for your team in high intensity situations creates some of the best life experiences for college players.

The Bruins

After graduating from the University of Rochester, Aria became the head squash coach at UCLA to lead their program and use his experiences as a college squash player to expand UCLA squash and the Los Angeles squash community. The Bruins will be competing in the College Squash Association against regional teams to become nationally ranked for the first time.
