Overview

Each quarter, the Stanford Squash program offers classes, available for credit through the Department of Athletics, Physical Education, and Recreation, for any student interested in learning the game. The classes are taught by members of the squash team. Credit is 1 unit, Pass/No Credit only. Enrollment is held on the first day of class.

At the end of each quarter, students put their newly learned skills to the test by participating in a class tournament.

Quarterly class times are posted in the Time Schedule. If you cannot make class times for a quarter or are an advanced player, we recommend joining the Stanford Squash club in order to receive once a week instruction from US #4 Jon Perry. Classes are held at DeGuerre Courts.
