You don't actually play squash 'on the Internet'. We're just using the Internet to help us organise a 'socially competitive' squash league competition.

Q.
|
|
Where do I play?
|
A.
|
|
Anywhere you like! It's up to you to agree with your opponent on a venue. Maybe it'll be at your local court, maybe theirs, or maybe somewhere in the middle. Make sure you have reasonable access to transport to help facilitate this.

Q.

|
How often do I play?
|
A.
|
|
You will be put in a division with 3 (occasionally 4) other people - so just 3 matches per calendar month. When in each month you play these matches is entirely a matter for you to arrange with your opponents.

Nothing. It's free. All you pay are the normal court fees to the court operator. And maybe the price of a drink for your opponent (if you beat them!).

How do I join?
|
A.
|
|
Easy. Get on the Internet and take a look at www.squashleagues.com. Select your local club, and then select the 'Join' option from the left-hand menu. It should be straightforward from there. You will be included in the 'active' competition from the 1st day of the next calendar month.
