Racquet Up Detroit

Racquet Up Detroit is an out-of-school youth development program which uses the sport of squash, in combination with academic tutoring, literacy development, fitness education, community service, and mentoring to make a lasting positive impact on the lives of public school students in Detroit. Founded in 2010 through a collaboration with the Squash and Education Alliance (SEA), Racquet Up now works with 100 fifth- through twelfth-grade students as well as a growing cohort of program graduates in college and pursuing careers.
