Nashville Crushers

After an electrifying Season 1, the Nashville Crushers experienced a bit of a sophomore slump. As a result, owner Jonathan Dyke set out to retool this roster and get back to competing for championships. With the second overall pick in the 2026 Draft, Nashville brought in a bona fide stud in Youssef Soliman, the current World #12. From there, Nashville’s agenda was clear: get younger and draft for upside. Noor Zaman, already a top 30 player at just 21 years old, signaled that intent. David Bernat (20), as a late-round pick, could be a steal as well if he develops. Moustafa Elsirty, already on the roster, fits the bill perfectly as an ascending player at just 24. Ronald Palomino has been a Nashville mainstay, coming up big time and time again for this team. This team is well-positioned to sustain success for a long period of time, but they’ll be a tough opponent for anyone in the near future as well.

Montgomery Bell Academy

Nashville in recent years has not been closely tied to squash; however, it has just built the first squash center in the history of the city. The three state of the art courts are located at Montgomery Bell Academy, one of the premier private schools in the area. They have recruited Dylan Cunningham, an American ex-professional player and former assistant coach at Drexel University, to lead the squash charge. Dylan is a highly knowledgeable coach with 3 years of experience on the PSA world tour and is now taking on the challenge of growing squash in Nashville from the grassroots level. 

Nashville, itself, is a vibrant and quickly expanding city. With the right leadership, it would be the perfect market to grow the game of squash. The Montgomery Bell facility will be an ideal host given its large and open viewing space behind the courts as well as the school’s newly found enthusiasm for the game within the community.

Get your Nashville hot chicken sandwiches, an ice cold Modelo, and buckle up for this monster of an event coming to the city this spring.
