Rackets at the ready

New Page 1

Rackets at the ready! Squash courts are back in action tomorrow after the Government gave the green light to reopen indoor leisure facilities.

Like before, the three-tier system remains in place, but the good news is you can now play Sides in your squash bubble in Tier 2 which you weren’t allowed to do before.

So, what can we play?
Below is a snapshot of permitted activity depending on where your club/venue is based:

  • Tier 1: Solo practice, full match play with same household, modified full-court squash in squash bubbles, Sides, Socially Distanced Practices, one-to-one coaching, group coaching.
  • Tier 2: Solo practice, full match play with same household, Sides and Socially Distanced Practices in squash bubbles, one-to-one coaching.
  • Tier 3: Solo practice, full match play with same household.

In addition to the above, juniors are allowed to take part in coach-led/supervised activity in all tiers.

Please note, guidance around one-to-one coaching in Tier 3 will be published tomorrow and circulated to all coaches.

For the full breakdown on permitted activity, visit our Back to Squash hub.

Your club/venue’s reopening
Clubs and venues have been working hard to interpret both the Government and our new return to play guidelines to assess what activity they can safely deliver in their respective tiers based on their own circumstances. Get in touch with your club/venue directly to find out when they will reopen, what type of activity they are allowing and if they have any new rules in place.

Play safe, stay safe
Below are some guidelines that you must follow in order to play to keep you and fellow players safe:

Please continue to follow current Government guidelines as these will always supersede any club/venue or England Squash guidelines.
