Chicago squash initiative helps youngsters

A squash initiative in Chicago is benefiting youngsters in the city.

The METROsquash scheme, which is organised by the University of Chicago, is designed to introduce youngsters to the sport while also giving them a wider motivation to succeed in other areas of their lives.

A spokeswoman from the scheme said:

"It's something inner-city kids needed ... It's not just having fun hitting a ball, but it helps them get in better schools and interact with kids from different schools and people in general".
