Sign up now for a fun 4-week summer social comp to round out the year! All skill levels welcome!

- The last round (16th December) is Xmas themed! Come dressed in your best Xmas outfit! Best dressed wins a prize!
For something a bit different, there will be four different formats for the four weeks:
Week 1 - Handicap matches - every player that enters will have a ranking. You will be given a handicap depending on your level and the opponent's level. Four games played. First to 11 (sudden death at 10-10 - no need to win by two points)
Week 2 - Powerplays - Timed squash. 16minutes each match (2 x 8 min halves with a break in between). Each player has one PowerPlays which can be used at any point. When the player calls "Powerplay" they have 1 minute in which only they can score points. If the opponent wins the rally, there will be no point counted within this minute.
Week 3- Team-up timed competition - The rules for this format: There will be three people on the court, Player 1 will verse Player 2 & 3 (Team) for 6 minutes. During the 6 minutes, Player 2 & 3 will alternate a minute each against Player 1 (the non playing team member is standing on the back wall (dodging the other players!) Each player will have a turn at being on their own against the team therefore this matchup will be on court for 18 minutes.
Week 4 - Back in time - For a bit of fun, let us go back to how it all started. We will be using wooden racquets (we will provide), Old scoring will also be used - hand in/hand out - first to 9. If players get to 8-8 the first person who was on 8, chooses to play to 9 or 10. You also get two chances at the serves (if you serve a fault, you get another serve).
Please note this comp is unranked - i.e. it will not impact SportyHQ / Squash Levels rankings. Anyone is welcome to play (members and non members).
The comp runs for four consecutive Mondays, starting 25th November, and finishing 16th December. Sign up before Sunday 24th November.
Registration is for the full four weeks. Juniors - use discount code 'JUNIORDISCOUNT' when registering
