Covid Vaccination Statement

2021-2022

The Covid 19 vaccination is not mandatory to be a member of the Conestoga Boys Varsity Squash program; however, the following is important information that impacts the interscholastic season.

1. The program’s home facility, Berwyn Squash and Fitness, vaccination policy reads:

Upon entrance to the club an individual is required to show proof of vaccination. If an individual is unvaccinated they are required to wear a mask at all times within the club, on court and off. Vaccinated individuals are permitted to be in the club without a mask. It is highly recommended that when a vaccinated individual is on court with an unvaccinated individual they should wear a mask.

If an individual refuses to provide proof of vaccination, they are required to wear a mask at all times within the club.

If an individual refuses to comply with the above, they would be refused entry to the club.

2. US Squash is the governing body for interscholastic squash leagues, including the Mid-Atlantic Squash Association. Attached is the vaccination policy for all US Squash junior play, including all US Squash accredited events. https://ussquash.org/return/

3. Each venue used within Mid-Atlantic Squash Association interscholastic play has varied vaccination policies.

The Conestoga Boys Squash program has adopted the position that vaccination status is a significant factor for play in the 2021-2022 interscholastic season. It impacts use of the home facility, venues used by opponents, and one’s ability to participate in the US national championship events hosted by the Arlen Specter Center. It may occur that a player’s vaccination status prevents them from participating in dual match interscholastic play and/or US Squash accredited events. Given the wide-ranging significance of vaccination status, it will be required for each player to disclose vaccination status to the program’s coaching staff no later than the first official practice day, Thursday November 11, 2021.
