As England moves to Step 2 of the COVID Spring Recovery plan, squash makes it long-awaited return on Monday 12 April and we can’t wait to see you back on court.
There is full player guidance on the England Squash website, follow this link: https://www.englandsquash.com/back-to-squash/guidance-for- players.
What can I play?
As with all indoor sports, squash clubs/venues are only allowed to reopen in Step 2 for the following activities:
solo practice or one-to-one coaching for adults
same household play including support bubble (as defined by Government)
out-of-school setting (OOSS) activity
school, college or university groups engaged in curriculum-based, coach- led/supervised activity, children who are participating in coach- led/supervised/OOSS activity or players with disabilities.
Returning to the club:
We have reviewed the Back to Squash guidelines to assess how best we can open safely for the above activities; we plan to provide hand sanitiser etc to support a safe return where possible.
It is incumbent on members to follow the current government guidelines and we would kindly ask that any resources at the club be left for members.
We plan to keep the changing/shower facilities closed, so please come ready to play and only use the toilets if absolutely necessary.
The on-line booking system is up and running, please use this to book courts giving as much player info as possible so we can refer to it should it be required for contacting purposes. We will look at putting up the NHS venue check in at some point.
We are reviewing the junior coaching position and will update as soon as possible, thank you for your patience.
We hope you feel you can return to squash, the club and committee have decided to roll over current memberships until things have cleared sufficiently to move forwards more confidently.
Play safe, stay safe
The Committee
