Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our customers and staff. We have developed the following guidelines for the squash courts, to ensure everyone can feel comfortable when they visit.
-
Equipment will not be available for hire initially to reduce forms of contact. You must bring your own racquets and squash balls.
-
Arrive and leave as close as possible to when you are due on court
-
Two players can practice/train on court at this stage or you may practice solo. Consider limiting training to same playing partner only. Two members of same household do not need to observe social distancing on court
-
Clean court door handle with disinfectant wipe before entry onto court (unless you have witnessed this task done by another person just before you play)
-
Only use your own racket and ball. Try to avoid touching the ball with your hands in between rallies
-
Coaching sessions permitted (observing social distancing rules) – maximum 2 players per court
-
No match play or competitions permitted
-
Players should arrive ready to play as their will be no access to changing rooms during this phase
-
Players should, ideally, bring a small bottle of hand sanitizer with them and keep it in their pocket of bag for use
-
To protect against infection, players must refrain from handshakes and high fives and keep 2 metres away from other people at all times
-
Do not share food, towels and drinks
-
Use two sets of clearly marked balls. These should be alternated for serving with each player only touching their individual balls
-
Use your racquet / foot to pick up balls and hit them to your opponent. Avoid using your hands to pick up the balls
-
Remain apart from other players when taking a break.
