The juniors will come to Boston in June for several days of training. After several exhibitions in the Hub, they will tour the strong squash areas throughout the country, specifically New York, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia. They will finish their tour in Toronto, what Fish calls "the squash capital of North America."

Fish expects to have several of his top Harvard players and many other national amateur squash stars assist with training on the tour.

Housing is Fish's biggest logistical problem. He hopes to find the juniors places to stay with families throughout the tour, and give them the priceless cultural experience of sharing American homelife.

College dormitories and hotel sponsorships are other possible housing options, although Fish considers the former a last resort. The Gesters, an international squash club, has offered its services to find housing for the juniors.

Wherever the foreigners tour, the kids will play each other as well as top local junior players. Individual sponsors will be invited to participate in special squash days and have a first-hand experience in the program.

In addition to competing on the court, the juniors will be competing with other tourists by visiting many popular attractions throughout the United States and Canada, getting exposure to North American history, business and government.

They will sit in on a Senate hearing, witness the chaos of the floor of a stock exchange, and go high a top the Washington Monument.

Fish sees the International Junior Squash Exchange Program not as a one-time deal, but rather as a precursor to bigger and better things in the future. He hopes to eventually attract players from developing nations and from countries who are just now developing squash programs like China.

Furthermore, "maybe there can be an American-Canadian tour throughout foreign countries," Fish says.

Fish is now looking for someone to take over the day to day operations of the exchange program. For now, he and assistant coach Steve Piltz are running the show.
