SquashBusters is an American youth development organization that provides middle and high school students with academic tutoring and squash instruction.

[3] Greg Zaff, formerly the second-ranked squash player in the world, devised the concept of SquashBusters while enrolled at the Harvard John F. Kennedy School of Government.

Zaff liaised with local politicians and institutions to secure support -- Harvard University agreed to lend the program court space, and then-Massachusetts Governor Bill Weld joined the board of directors.

[5] Freeland and Zaff agreed that Northeastern would provide the land free of charge if Squashbusters raised $6 million to cover the cost of building the facility.

[5] Squash instruction is provided by volunteers, staff coaches, and former professionals, including world champions Thierry Lincou and Amanda Sobhy.

When participants enter high school, SquashBusters offers standardized test preparation, essay workshops, and one-on-one mentorship throughout the college application process.

SquashBusters students participate in SEA events like the annual Urban Squash Citizenship Tour, where they met with then-Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick in 2014.
