Evening All,
You may have seen the latest guidance issued by England Squash on 27th August 2020 about the introduction of "squash bubbles" with effect from 1st September 2020. I have set out below in full the relevant details from the England Squash website which are self-explanatory.
Please note that I am your "COVID 19 Officer" for the Squash Section if you are intending to form a bubble, or in due course change bubble. As per the statement, please can you ensure that you notify me by email to squash@warwickboatclub.co.uk of who else forms part of your bubble so that we can keep our records up to date.
If I could also take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of booking a court each and every time that you play, with the name of your playing partner inserted before you go on court. Unfortunately, we have had instances where this has not been adhered to which is unacceptable and potentially puts other members of the Section at risk.
Should you have any queries upon receipt, please feel free to contact me. Otherwise, keep safe and adhere to the guidance notes issued previously.
Many thanks,
Graeme Mascall
Squash Captain
From Tuesday 1 September squash clubs and venues in England are able to move to Phase 2 in our return to play plan, allowing players to form ‘squash bubbles’ and play full-court matches, although modifications and additional hygiene measures will be required:
Your club/venue’s introduction of 'squash bubbles'
Clubs and venues are working hard to understand and interpret both the Government and the England Squash return to play guidelines, to assess whether they can move safely to Phase 2 of the return to play phases, based on their own unique circumstances.
Please be patient with your club/venue as they implement safety procedures to keep you and other players safe. Get in touch with them directly to find out if and when they will move to Phase 2 of the phased return to play, or indeed reopen if they haven’t yet been able to. Check what their rules are – including booking procedures – and whether they are operating reduced opening hours.
Be mindful that your club/venue may not be able to meet the measures required to keep their staff, volunteers and members safe, and should they choose to remain closed, please respect their decision.
Play safe, stay safe
Should your club/venue reopen, they will need to introduce a number of safety measures to ensure players can maintain social distancing. Below are some guidelines that you must follow in order to play to keep you and fellow players safe:
What is a ‘squash bubble’?
Bubbles consist of a maximum of six players and players within a ‘squash bubble’ are permitted to play full-court matches with the following modifications:
Please maintain social distancing when not on court, and continue follow your club’s/venue’s hygiene and cleaning policies.
How do I form a ‘squash bubble’?
What if a player in a 'squash bubble' displays symptoms of COVID-19?
What if I can't form a 'squash bubble'?
Remember, many clubs/venues may choose to be cautious - it’s their responsibility to minimise the risk to you, their members, staff, volunteers and the wider community. If you cannot form a 'squash bubble' (or wish to play someone from outside your bubble), we recommend playing 'Sides' as it's a modified/adapted version of the game which allows players to meet social distancing measures, with each player remaining in their own half of the court at all times.
