MOHAMED HASSAN MOUSATFA
SQUASH PRO

My past experiences have taught me that anything is possible through squash.  My goal at this club is to teach the game of squash to anyone who has the desire to learn the game. 

Like so many other sports squash is one sport that can open many doors to our youth.  Unlike the traditional sports of baseball, football, basketball and rowing, squash players have an unequivocal advantage.  There is less competition for scholarships, fewer kids play, and with hard work and determination anyone, no matter what their size can be an extremely good player. 

Squash is hot right now and a very good way to get into some of the most prestigious colleges in the U.S...  I have coached Casey Riley, National Girls Winner 2002, (girls under 19),  Brittany Hebden, National Girls Winner 2002(girls under 17), Lee Rosen, ranked #7  in the U.S.(boys under 19), Trevor McGuinness, ranked #1 in the U.S.(boys under 15), and Todd Ruth, ranked #2  in the U.S.(boys under 15). 

In Egypt I have coached Omar Mossad ranked #2 in the WORLD (boys under 13), Moustafa Essam, ranked #3 in the WORLD (boy under 17) , and Mohamed Adel, ranked #7 in the WORLD (boys under 19).
