Southcoast Health Helps Launch Free Youth Squash Program in Fall River

Southcoast Health is proud to support a new free youth squash program at the YMCA of Fall River by providing the racket and equipment needed to make it possible.

The initiative was created by Zarak Ahmad, a Milton Academy senior squash player, who recognized an opportunity to bring the sport to children attending the YMCA’s summer camp.

Beginning in July, children receive two-hour squash lessons from Zarak and a fellow Milton Academy squash player twice a week over several weeks, learning the fundamentals of a sport that continues to grow in popularity and offers opportunities for teamwork, confidence-building and even future college scholarships.

We’re honored to support initiatives that help improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve, both inside and outside our walls.
