A Zimbabwe native, Kimbley Palterman has been playing squash since the age of four. After achieving many accolades in her home country, including Zimbabwe National Championships, an All African Championship and being the Zimbabwe National Team Captain for several of her squash teams, Kimbley set her sights on the United States.
Kimbley attended Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut between 2005 and 2009, becoming a starting player on their women’s squash team and earning a bachelor’s degree in dance psychology. This experience has helped her shape her training methods to encompass proper squash technique and skill in addition to mental and physical wellness. As an alumni, she attends squash tournaments to give support to the Trinity squash teams.
A seasoned and dedicated coach, Kimbley worked as a Zimbabwe junior and high school coach when she lived at home. Since her arrival in the United States, however, she has coached players and organized and managed squash tournaments for Merritt Athletic Clubs and Bare Hills Racquet and Fitness Club. Apart from these roles, Kimbley has (and continues to) work closely with U.S. SQUASH in organizing and managing tournaments for them as well.
Kimbley aspires to run world tournaments and eventually to own and manage her own racquet, fitness and wellness spa.
