<p>Hello - </p>
<p>I’ve been playing squash for years and have closely followed college recruiting in the US. Walk-ons for the squash team were fairly common in the 1970s-80s but are nearly impossible now. </p>
<p>There is one team that has dominated college squash for the last decade: Trinity College. Trinity picks only the best international squash players for their team. Since American squash is at a lower level than other countries, it is rare that an American gets recruited for Trinity’s team.</p>
<p>If you are a recruited Squash player then the odds for you to get accepted into one of the top colleges increases dramatically. If you are as good as you state, it sounds as if the US college coaches are not aware of you. The coaches generally only recruit from the top international tournaments (US Junior Nationals and World Squash Association championships).</p>

<p>If you’ve never competed on the international level, then its unlikely for you to get noticed as you will not have a good ranking. It sounds that since you do have an international ranking, you may have already competed in some of these tournaments. Do whatever you can to get your ranking higher – you really need to be in the top 50 to be taken seriously.</p>
<p>Each team generally has 1-4 spots open per year, and the coaches are always on the lookout for players to fill these. Each squash team also has a web page where you can contact the coach. I suggest you contact each of the coaches (they are not allowed to contact you by NCAA rules) and explain your situation further. You may also want to contact current US collegiate squash players from Germany. Here are a few you can look up. Good luck:</p>

Julia Howald (Berlin, Germany) Smith College
Sarah Lentz (Weyhe, Germany) Smith College</p>
