It certainly was a year like no other. But SQB dug deep, worked hard, and persevered. We are excited to take what we learned this year about determination, resourcefulness, imagination, and friendship into a new year.
SQB is Springing Forward
The usual crowded van rides, boast-drive sessions, and chock-filled calendars have been replaced by Zoom fitness classes and online tutoring, but SQB remains programmatically strong and focused. At every turn, our goal continues to be in-person interactions with our students and we’ve done this hundreds of times over this year in small group PODs and one-on-one get-togethers.
Fall 2020 at SQB Lawrence
Without access to our usual facilities, SquashBusters Lawrence fully bought into the Season 1 theme of Discovery and Exploration. In our pursuit to find meaningful ways to spend time together without normal classrooms or courts, we got creative and, in the process, discovered new activities and sports that we will undoubtedly continue to do long after things return to normal.
