Newport, RI - National Squash League

Newport Dragons – Newport, RI

The Newport Dragons put the league on alert in Season 1, playing one of the matches of the season in their home opener against the Chicago. The fans were rowdy, the players were electric, but ultimately Newport crashed out of the North Division away against the New York Knights. Look for team owner Bear Dyke to stay aggressive in his draft strategy in 2025 to build a contender. As he always says, “To play for Newport, you have to have the heart of a Dragon.”

St. George’s School

The seaside city is home to more than just a robust yachting culture. It has a long history of sporting events, having hosted the first U.S. Opens in both tennis and golf as well as every challenge of the America’s Cup from 1930-1983. It is currently the home of the International Tennis Hall of Fame and a place defined by sporting excellence.

Newport has a new and emerging squash community. St. George’s School, a picturesque campus that sits on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, will be the home location of the Newport Dragons. St. George’s has led the growth of the game in Newport in years past, recruiting some of the best domestic and international talents to play on its varsity team. However, with the recent construction of a new public facility in the Newport YMCA, which includes 8 singles courts and 1 hardball doubles court, the game is poised for a golden age of growth in the immediate future. The NSL is excited to help spearhead this development and deliver high-quality squash to inspire the next generation!
