June 12-14
SEA Individual Nationals is one of the network's oldest and most cherished events.
From June 12-14, over 400 students will travel from across the country to compete in this tournament that will be co-hosted by Andover, Brooks, and SquashBusters Lawrence. During the weekend, students will stay overnight in the Brooks and Andover dorms, eat in the dining halls, and enjoy the beautiful boarding school campuses. Matches will take place at Andover's Snyder Center and Brooks' Danforth Squash and Rowing Center, as well as SquashBusters' 8-court facility in Lawrence, which opened in December of 2024.
SquashBusters, which is SEA's oldest member organization, launched the Lawrence program in 2012. Andover and Brooks have played a seminal role in SquashBusters’ growth, as their campuses have hosted SquashBusters programming and countless students, and faculty from Andover and Brooks have volunteered for SquashBusters. Seven SEA students have attended Brooks and 23 SEA students have attended Andover Summer School.

SEA leads this network by launching new programs, promoting best practices, and providing unique educational and athletic experiences for our network’s students. 8 of 10 SEA high school graduates identify as first-generation, and over 90% of our high school graduates go on to college.

Beyond the court, SEA awards summer scholarships that allow motivated students to immerse themselves in multi-week academic programs at boarding schools, like Brooks and Andover. By weaving academic and top-level squash opportunities, SEA students and alumni achieve extraordinary outcomes, showcased at flagship events like Individual Nationals and through transformative partnerships with institutions like Andover and Brooks.
