Let’s Bounce: Jamaica

Outdoor squash in Jamaica

Explore what could help people move from a school introduction to regular squash in Jamaica. A 2026 girls’ school activation offers a starting point for local learning; no Let’s Bounce site, host or delivery arrangement is established.

The opportunity

A first rally. A reason to return.

Learn whether welcoming school introductions can connect to repeat community play, and whether outdoor or shared space could help if local organisations identify an access gap.

National discussion, local delivery

Jamaica Squash visited St Andrew Prep for Girls’ Day in May 2026 with an inflatable court and introductory activities. Its president linked school exposure to a strategic goal of getting more children playing and said the association was looking for another school opportunity. This supports a conversation about onward pathways; it does not establish a continuing programme, participant outcomes, need for a new outdoor court or any Let’s Bounce partnership.

Any pilot needs a defined region, community, host and delivery team. This discussion does not mean Let’s Bounce operates across the country.

Local priorities, practical proposals

How squash could contribute

A first introduction at school

A Jamaica Squash team introduced squash to girls at St Andrew Prep’s Girls’ Day. The report describes an inflatable court, video and beginner guidance on holding a racket, hitting, serving and hydration. It is one reported event, not evidence of an ongoing school programme.

A next school opportunity

Jamaica Squash president Karen Anderson connected school visits with the association’s goal of getting more children playing, and said it was looking for another opportunity to visit a school. What happened after the report, and how pupils can continue, still needs local clarification.

Let local need guide the setting

A school taster alone does not demonstrate a shortage of courts or demand for an outdoor court. The next useful question is whether existing clubs, coaches or community spaces can support repeat play, and what access, cost or transport barriers local families identify.

A separate historical sponsorship precedent

RAL and Jamaica Observer reports document Burger King and BCIC support for Jamaica’s junior national team travelling to CASA championships, including J$400,000 contributions and six consecutive years reported by 2019. This is historical context only; no current sponsorship or Let’s Bounce relationship is established.

The discussion so far

School access offers a starting point for local learning

A May 2026 report described Jamaica Squash’s Girls’ Day introduction at St Andrew Prep and its search for another school visit. We are exploring whether school tasters can connect to repeat local play; no outdoor-court need, host, site, funding or partnership is established.

Help shape the next step

Bring your local knowledge.

Schools, community groups, clubs and businesses can help us understand what people need and how a first activity could work.

You can share feedback, discuss possible involvement, suggest a host or explore sponsorship. An expression of interest helps shape the conversation; it does not commit you or your organisation to a programme.
