Announcement – Solo Squash Training Authorised – 30 July 20
On court solo squash training is now authorised subject to the squash facility being open and conforming to NGB and Army HQ COVID prevention guidelines. Squash players are to maintain 2m social distancing at all times while training, and only one person at a time is allowed to train on court. This position will be reviewed regularly, balancing risk versus requirement.
UPDATED BACK TO SQUASH GUIDANCE FROM ENGLAND SQUASH
Following the release of our Back to Squash guidance on 14 July, we’ve released an updated set of guidance and resources based on your feedback. The key updates and additions, which you can also find in Version 2 of the Back to Squash guidance PDF include:
1) NEW: Social distancing games and practices (video and poster)
Our new downloadable video and venue poster highlight which games and practices more advanced players from different households can play.
2) NEW: Court cleaning recommendations (PDF)
We provide practical advice and support measures to help clubs/venues keep their members and workforce as safe as possible.
3) NEW: Don’t Touch the Walls (poster)
Our new downloadable poster discourages players from touching the walls, reducing the risk of spreading the virus. For maximum effect, we advise placing the poster on the front of all court doors.
4) NEW: FAQs
We answer commonly asked questions from clubs, venues and coaches including:
ARMY SPORT CONTROL BOARD COVID-19
please note that in compliance with the Government’s continuing response to COVID-19, representative Army Sport, Overseas Visits and Training Camps are suspended. Further details can be found on the home page of the ASCB website.

As the President of Army Squash, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to the Army Squash website.

Very well done and thank you.

The meeting ID and password details will be the same every week, so really straightforward.
