About Squash Brothers Academy
Squash Brothers Academy was founded with one clear mission: to create an inclusive, high-energy environment where players of all ages and levels can thrive. Based out of the premier Cross Court Squash facility, we offer a modern and supportive training experience rooted in passion, discipline, and fun.
Our coaching philosophy blends technical precision with creative, player-centered development. The journeys of all our squash coaches have provided us with a diversity of experiences—collegiate competition, international play, grassroots development—that allow us to cater to juniors with a wide range of goals, whether they’re aiming for elite-level competition or simply enjoying the game as a lifelong sport.
Whether you’re a beginner learning the fundamentals or a seasoned competitor looking to fine-tune your game, we provide the structure, support, and intensity needed to help you reach your full potential.
At SBA, we believe that the squash court should be a space of growth, teamwork, and joy. We’re committed to fostering a welcoming community where every athlete feels empowered to work hard, challenge themselves, and enjoy the journey.

Sebastian De La Vega
"I’m thrilled to be continuing at Cross Courts but now under SBA! I started playing squash at 11, but my passion really took off at 13 when I moved to Southwest London and trained at St. George’s Hill under Danny Lee. His mentorship shaped my love for the game both on and off the court.
After moving back to Greenwich, I took a break from playing but discovered coaching while working at Chelsea Piers under Rei Hergeth. That experience opened my eyes to the impact a coach can have. I continued coaching through college at clubs like Life Time City Centre and the Charleston Squash Club.
My college playing journey took me across the U.S., and I wrapped up my final two years at Hobart College alongside my younger brother, where I held a top-3 position—mostly at #1—and served as captain, helping lead the team to a program-best top 20 national ranking.
Coaching has become a true calling. There’s nothing better than seeing young players grow, have fun, and chase their goals. I’m excited to be part of this community and can’t wait to get on court with you all!"
Coach
Javier De La Vega
Hi everyone! I’m Javier De La Vega, and I’ve been hooked on squash since I was five years old. From the courts in Houston to training stints in England and Greenwich, CT, this sport has taken me all over—and shaped how I approach everything in life.
These days, I’m proud to play for Hobart College, competing at the collegiate level with an amazing group of teammates. But no matter how far I’ve come, I’ve never lost that day-one excitement for the game.
One of the best parts of squash is the community—and that’s what I’m all about. Whether I’m working with beginners or helping players prep for high-level matches, I love creating a fun, focused environment where everyone can push themselves and have a good time doing it.
If you’re looking to get better, build confidence, and fall in love with squash the way I did, you’re in the right place. Let’s get after it—see you on court!
Coach
Raji Davenport
"Hi everyone! I’m Raji Davenport, and I’ve loved squash since I was 11, thanks to SquashDrive. My journey has taken me all over—from tournaments across the U.S. to training in England—plus a national championship or two with my college team!
One of my biggest passions is working with kids and introducing them to this amazing sport. There’s nothing better than seeing a young player light up as they discover squash—whether they’re just starting out or taking their first big leap in competition.
I’ve spent summers coaching awesome campers at SquashDrive, the Olympic Club, and SquashZone, making sure everyone has fun and grows on court. As a coach who’s trained and played at every scholastic level, I know how much a caring, encouraging community matters.
If you want to learn, compete, and have a blast—especially if you’re new to squash—come join us. Let’s take your game to the next level—together!"
