Congratulations to Geoff Dailey -- our first ever squash recruit from DHS! As reported in the July/Aug. Squash Magazine, Geoff (aka Roger) is attending Franklin & Marshall, the coaching home of reowned player John White. This issue is an excellent read -- see pg. 10 on how squash is opening collegiate doors for players and cover story on John White on pg. 22 (can you do a split like that?)

REQUIRED FORMS (must turn these in at the start of each session to play)
Three forms must be completed for all athletes to be eligible to participate in interscholastic sports http://www.darienps.org/healthservices/grades11-12/grades11-12.htm
• DHS Coaches Athletic Emergency Form - This is in addition to the Health Office Emergency forms.
• DHS Extra-Curricular and Athletic Eligibility and Participation Contract – an athlete commitment requiring signatures of both athlete and parent. •
• Sports Participation Health Record - All students who plan to tryout, practice, and play at any level of interscholastic athletics must have a documented physical examination in order to participate. This physical exam must be updated every thirteen months, and kept on file with the school nurse. Note: this form is required only for Varsity and JV squash not club.

REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
You will need to buy a squash racquet and protective eyewear. These can be purchased at Squash Alley or other sporting goods stores. Also, non-marking sneakers (tennis sneakers are fine) are required and they must be a pair used for squash only and not worn outside of the courts. Anyone with dirty or gritty soles will not be allowed to play since it will ruin the floor of the court. Regular T-shirts and exercise shorts are fine -- you will get quite a workout on the court!
LOCATION Squash Alley is located just over the border of Darien in Stamford. Click on locations on the menu at left for address, phone and map.
