Squash Rochester

And that’s a wrap! Thank you to everyone who came out and supported Sunrise Courts ☀️yesterday! What an amazing day!

On Saturday, July 18, while Emergency Alerts buzzed Rochester phones, warning of torrential rains, flooding, and tornados, the sun shone on players in the two-day-old all-glass outdoor squash court at Sunrise Courts in Warsaw, NY (about an hour from Rochester).

Highlights of the day were inaugural play on the all-glass outdoor squash court (the first in western NY), the 716 Squash van full of energetic squash-playing kids from Buffalo, and the presence of world-class players Gina Kennedy (UK, WR #6) and Hannah Craig (Ireland, WR #60), who thrilled us with an exhibition match, and then hit with us. Gina and Hannah played collegiate squash on the nationally top-ranked Harvard women’s team.

Local players from Rochester and kids from 716 Squash were thrilled to play with Gina and Hannah, and with one another on the outdoor and indoor courts.

Fun was had by all. “When can we come back?” echoed as the event wound-down.

Sunrise Courts, is a court construction and renovation business operated by Jordan and Hannah Aldrich from Warsaw, NY, that has built and renovated squash courts across the U.S. for clubs (including Harro East and the Genesee Valley Club in Rochester), educational institutions, and private individuals. Examples of their squash court construction (sand-filled and paneled indoor walls and an outdoor court) are available for play in Warsaw.

Sunrise has a multi-sport facility known as Sunrise Community Courts adjoining the squash courts. There are three pickleball courts (2 outdoor and 1 indoor), sand volleyball, table tennis, and a golf simulator in addition to the squash courts. Sunrise plans to add another outdoor squash court adjoining the current one and with a roof covering both courts.

The first outdoor squash courts in western NY! Sunrise expects to add another court and build a roof over both. Would you like to try the outdoor court and Sunrise's two indoor courts (one with panel, and the other with sand-filled walls)? Let us know and the RSRA will endeavor to organize an outing.

May 26 was milestone day for Rochester Squash. RCS (Rochester Community Squash) opened its doors at Harro East to welcome its first class of 18 3rd and 4th graders from Rochester Prep. Here, Firdaus Shallo is instructing her first class of 8 kids on the proper racquet grip. Firdaus and Eddie Lewis deeply engaged the kids in RCS programs focused on education and athletics (aka squash). Rochester Squash is most grateful to everyone who has provided financial and moral support for this effort. RCS aims to increase the number of kids in the program and the number of days classes are provided. The RSRA aims to revitalize adult squash on the newly renovated Harro East courts.

Rochester Community Squash starts renovations for a program to start next month.
