Guide Lines for Junior Boy’s playing in the Men’s Leagues

Amongst other areas, Durham and Cleveland are keen to promote the playing of squash by juniors. Indeed squash is one of the few sports where juniors can play in fully competitive matches with senior counterparts. In order to maintain this excellent integration of age groups, the joint counties do not apply a minimum age limit to the senior league matches. Clubs are reminded however that should they decide to have juniors playing in the leagues that they have a responsibility to ensure that the adequate child-protection mechanisms are put in place. This includes not only the appropriate considerations for changing and preventing potential for a child to be left with a single adult but also to ensure someone can intervene should markers or opponents attempt to impose any bullying in any of its forms.
It is recommended that juniors playing in the senior leagues should wear eye protection.
