As the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic settles in across the province and country, Squash Ontario wishes every member of our community and their families health, safety and sanity in the coming weeks. It is with a heavy heart but a hopeful sense of responsibility that we will officially be cancelling the remainder of the 2019-20 season. While very disappointing for our athletes who will not get a chance to finish their campaigns, we know that in accordance with public health officials that flattening the COVID-19 curve must be our only priority in the near future.
As such, Squash Ontario will turn our focus to engaging our members and supporting our amazing professionals and clubs virtually during this time away from the courts. Beginning next week, you will see regular communication and social media pieces including online work-outs, mental tips, squash videos, rules clinics and stories from our community about how they are coping with being away from the squash courts.
In addition, we are thrilled to announce that our 2020 Junior Awards Banquet Presented by the Jesters will take place virtually on Saturday April 25th at 5:00 p.m. where this season’s accomplishments will be recognized. All juniors and coaches in the province will be invited to join us online to celebrate award recipients in sportsmanship, excellence, commitment and coaching – save the date and begin to pick out your outfits! Stay tuned for more details on this event and other ways Squash Ontario will be staying in touch with our community.
We encourage any and all members to reach out and send us anything you have to contribute or would like to see during this time at admin@squashontario.com.
