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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s summer camp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re honored to support initiatives that help improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve, both inside and outside our walls.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":291559,"template":"","categories":[1232],"class_list":["post-291556","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nSouthcoast
