RACQUETS
SAFER INDOOR PLAY AT BCC By Wade Johnstone, Director of Squash As we continue in these uncertain times of COVID-19 and sports are moving indoors due to the colder weather, don’t forget about Squash, Squash 57, and Pickleball at Roland Park. If you are uncomfortable playing a full match, there are still great opportunities to keep yourself in shape and active while staying safe. Adhering to the guidelines mandated by Governor Hogan and local government officials, you can still maintain physical distancing (six feet) from your opponent by playing some simple games or drills. Indoor Pickleball is also a great option as the net separates players from their opponents and you can play singles and
doubles. So don’t forget to take this opportunity to come in and learn Squash, Squash 57, and Pickleball or to continue these fantastic, highly enjoyable and social sports. Lessons are always available with our top Racquets’ professionals if needed. I look forward to seeing you on the courts. ◆ Best Regards,
Wade Johnstone Director of Squash
