Squash - Boys' III
Overview
Overview
The boys' thirds squash program began in 2005 in response to the increased interest in the sport and the depth of Taft's squash program. Open to lower-school boys, the thirds team comprises those with no experience to some ability in the sport, and the emphasis is on teaching sportsmanship, having fun, and learning the basics of the game. Over the years, a number of players who began on the thirds team earned spots on Taft's junior varsity and varsity squads. The team size ranges from 10-12 players who compete against other thirds teams and several JV teams.
