Back
Capitol Squash is a summer, after-school and weekend academic and athletic enrichment program for youth in and around the city of Hartford. The mission of Capitol Squash is to provide students from Hartford with the cultural capital necessary to gain access to appropriately challenging educational opportunities. The program was established in 2010 and accepted its first class of sixth graders in 2011.
During the summer session, students visited Westminster Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., where they spent two hours in the classroom refining their reading, writing and arithmetic skills for the upcoming school year and two hours learning squash. In addition, the students heard guest speakers, including some from Westminster, and took field trips. Matthew Coleman of Hall High School in West Hartford served as the classroom teacher, and Andres Vargas, assistant Men’s Squash coach at Trinity College, provided squash instruction.
Westminster alumnus Eddie Gentle ’10, who participated in SquashBusters in Boston and played First Boys’ Squash at Westminster, serves as community relations director and coach for Capitol Squash, and Westminster First Boys’ Squash coach and math teacher Peter Doucette serves on the advisory board.
