On February 19th and 20th, SEA hosted its first ever High Performance Team Trials, a two-day tournament to determine which players across the network will be selected to participate in SEA’s top-level training and competitions. Ninety-six students from 15 U.S. member programs competed in the U13, U15, and U17 divisions and 34 were selected for the National and Developmental High Performance Teams. The Trials took place at SquashBusters’ Providence facility at the Moses Brown School.

SEA’s HPT, which launched in 2016 with 13 players, provides top-level training and competitive opportunities to high potential players across its network of member organizations. The HPT aims to promote a culture of athletic achievement and aspiration across the SEA network and ensure that players who wish to pursue squash at the highest levels have the resources and guidance needed to fulfill their potential.

We’re thrilled to introduce the members of the 2022 SEA National and Developmental High Performance Teams! Team members will receive funding for tournaments, private coaching, and an invitation to at least one week of the SEA Summer Academy, an intensive camp held at the Kent School in Connecticut.

Members of the National HPT finished in the #1-#3 spots in their divisions at the Trials, and members of the Developmental finished in the #4-#7 spots.

“It’s exciting to have our students training together again,” says SEA Director of Squash Edgardo Gonzalez. “I’m looking forward to supporting our new HPT players on their squash journeys and can’t wait to see what they achieve on court in the years ahead.”
