​
​Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness has partnered with East Coast Squash Academy to provide the ideal training opportunity and environment for Sydney University students to grow into elite players and professionals; ultimately raising the profile of squash to a level where it is recognised as a significant sport within Australia.
East Coast Squash Academy was founded in 2013 by Aaron Frankcomb, former World #38 and current No.1 in NSW.
