Our beginnings to the present. How 5 squash players changed the trajectory of squash in North America through a drive to grow the sport.
Who We Are.
Our Beginnings.
The Sunshine Squash Club was founded by four junior squash players from BC, Jacob Lin, Ocean Ma, WeiHan Wang, and Spring Ma, in the Year 2020, right after the Covid-19 pandemic started. In March 2020, everything was shut down, and we were taking online school. So there was no squash or any sports activities. And so we started doing fitness at home on ZOOM together to keep fit and in shape, and it had a very effective turnout.
When we realized that most of our peers wanted to join us, we motivated other kids to live a healthy life while being stuck at home by hosting “Fitness on Zoom” – online fitness sessions for two hours each week to promote active living during the lockdown.
Our Work
Over the years, the Sunshine Squash Club has grown beyond the screens of zoom and has expanded into a community where players of all skills can grow. In October 2020 and 2021, we hosted our annual World Squash Day event with the purpose of promoting squash to new and younger players. In 2022, The Sunshine Squash Club organized weekly In-house leagues at River Club to get some of our junior squash players in the habit of competitive match playing. Furthermore, during Spring Break, our club organized a “Spring Break League Day” to specifically fundraise for the Canadian Junior Squash Championships in 2022. Over the years, our team of founders has been working tirelessly to expand the club across North America and make a difference through squash and its power to spark passion in the young.
