NSA – Under 23 is a new initiative aimed at strengthening the U23 (college) program and to help American athletes transition into their professional careers.
The goal is to manage elite players attending college who aspire to play professionally and represent Team USA Squash on the world stage by bridging the gap between the junior squash circuit, college, and professional ranks. Building strong relationships between players and college coaches is key to the success of this program. US Squash will work with college coaches to help their players progress toward their professional aspirations through exposing players to PSA events, providing training opportunities at the National Center, and offering guidance on navigating the early stages of becoming a professional athlete.
Players invited on the NSA – U23 program will receive specialized support from the National coaching team to help them navigate their academic and squash goals while remaining compliant with school policies. This will include outside of the season tournament planning, and centralized training at the Specter Center with the National Team in the summer and outside of the core college squash season.
