Overview
Squash - Boys 3rd Team
Brooks has maintained the fine tradition of squash since the 1930s, producing hundreds of life-long players who continue to compete at the highest level. There is tremendous interest at Brooks in playing squash, with more than 50 boys comprising four teams.
We are proud of the fact that even some of our most accomplished players picked up a racquet for first time at Brooks. The 3rd team introduces novices to the game. Focus is on rules, proper technique, and conditioning. Matches against the other ISL schools give 3rd-team players the opportunity to compete against similarly skilled competition.
In addition, student athletes are fortunate to have access to the exceptional on-campus athletic facilities at Brooks. Athletes at all levels have the opportunity to use the fully equipped weight room to improve strength and conditioning, and a fully-staffed training room is available to treat injuries big and small.
Coaches
-
CoachCraig Gorton began teaching computer science and robotics in 2018 after careers in the software industry and naval architecture/marine engineering. He earned his B.A. in government and economics from Dartmouth College, a Master's degree in computer information systems from Boston University and studied yacht design at the Westlawn Institute of Marine Technology. Gorton loves being creative with technology and has a passion for continuous learning. He holds a USCG captain’s license and once crossed the Atlantic using celestial navigation. Several attempts to design, build and operate his own transoceanic semi-autonomous sailing drone have been unsuccessful, but he’s not done trying! Gorton is also an avid kiteboarder, road cyclist, skier, chess player and loves being able to teach the subjects he would be exploring for fun anyway.
