"Everyone Plays" visits Pennsylvania School for the Deaf
Ron Koenig and Jim Snyder visited the PA School for the Deaf and set up four one wall courts
Jim Snyder and Ron Koenig visited the Pennsylvania School for the Death and with the help of interpreter Arianna Neromiliotis and physical education teacher Joe Barrett, introduced the students at PSD to the game of squash. After a demonstration and an explanation of the rules, the students got a chance to play squash on one of the four one wall courts set up in the gym.
This was the first time the students had seen squash played in any form. The middle and high school students took to the game immediately. Several of the students were quickly playing complete games. One first grade class was also treated to a game of squash floor hockey and racket relay races.
The Pennsylvania School for the Deaf is located on West School House Lane in Philadelphia and is the third oldest school for the deaf in the United States, founded in 1820. It serves over 225 students in the Philadelphia and surrounding area. Everyone Plays is looking forward to returning in the fall to help the students start an after school squash program.
Philly Squash is dedicated to introducing squash to Middle School and High School students across the country. If you would like to bring "Everyone Plays" to your school, e-mail everyoneplays@phillysquash.com
