Partnerships & Marketing Summer Intern

MSQUASH is a premier High-Performance Squash Academy founded by Shaun Moxham and Katline Cauwels. With state-of-the-art facilities in Port Chester, NY, and South Norwalk, CT, we are dedicated to developing athletes through cutting-edge training, strategic match play, and fostering a winning mindset. In addition to training elite players, MSQUASH cultivates a dynamic community with programs for juniors, adults, and social players.
