Santa Barbara School Of Squash(SBSOS) is year-round sports and education program that serves 30 committed Santa Barbara youth (5th-12thgrade) who qualify for the National School Lunch program and supports 9 students at college. SBSOS pillars include squash, academic tutoring, community service, enrichment opportunities, and mentoring. Students and their parents must commit (by signing a contract each year) to a minimum number of hours in the program that means attending four days per week. We operate after school, on weekends, and during holidays. By using squash as a motivator, we guide students to realize their academic, athletic and personal potential. Our goal is for each student to graduate from high school prepared for their next step: college or to launch a career. We stay in contact with graduates as they work toward their post-high school goals and offer guidance and support through age 25. We are closely involved with each student on many levels and describe the program as “an inch wide but a mile deep”. SBSOS has been in existence for over 12 years and is a proud member of our national parent organization - the Squash & Education Alliance (SEA).
SBSOS Mission Statement:
