Squash Fun & Games

Squash Fun & Games started as a simple idea: take squash from being an exclusive sport and bring it to the masses. A WhatsApp group grew through invitations, welcoming people who had never even heard of squash. The programme is now CVB's grassroots entry point for growing the squash community in Botswana and making the sport accessible to as many people as possible.
