Darien HS Athletics COVID-19 Monitoring Form: In order to participate in any school-based activity, this form must be completed and reviewed by a coach/supervisor before each session. Failure to submit this form will result in immediate suspension and exclusion from said activity.

Locker Rooms are Closed at DHS and Closed at Ox Ridge Club; so come dressed to play
Water Fountains are Closed, so bring water from home

This season masks and goggles are required on court. Wearing masks may cause your goggles to haze or fog. If you are experiencing this, we encourage you to purchase a face shield, e.g., iMask. The iMask+ WSD Mid Length Face Shield product has been designed for the specific needs of Squash Players. The slightly shorter visor allows for freedom of movement while still protecting the face area. This protective barrier can help in the fight against COVID-19, and also provide impact resistance to protect your face from ball or racquet strike. The iMask comes in adult and junior sizes (11% smaller for 7-10 year olds), and can be worn over Rx glasses. You can learn more about the iMask (WSD Mid Length Face Shield) at https://www.imaskusa.com/
