As Labor Day marks the transition into fall, squash facilities around the U.S. continue to reopen to limited types of play. Concurrently, US Squash is working with representatives from across the community to plan for a gradual return to competition over the coming months in a phased approach. The reopening status for squash varies significantly from state to state as well as locally. All facilities are advised to follow the regulations and guidelines of local, state, and federal health authorities before considering their specific situation and what is most appropriate for their players and staff, and then the application of US Squash guidelines for a safe return to play.
