We’re looking for players to join our Lilleshall squash and Racketball / Squash 57 teams for the coming season.
Whether you’re an experienced league player or simply fancy giving competitive team squash or Racketball a go, we’d love to hear from you.
Squash
We currently have one team playing in the Staffordshire Squash League, with matches played on Wednesday evenings.
Matches are a great opportunity to represent the club, meet other players and enjoy some competitive squash, so come along and support the players when you can.
Racketball / Squash 57
We also have a Division 2 Racketball / Squash 57 team in the Shropshire League.
There are three players in a team, and we’re looking for players who can play Racketball to a good standard and, most importantly, are keen to get involved and play regularly.
Match Information
Match night: Wednesday evenings
Start time: 7:30pm promptly
Team size: 3 players
Away matches: The majority of our away fixtures are in the Shrewsbury area
Venues: Matches may be played at Shrewsbury Rugby Club, around 25 minutes from Newport, or at Shrewsbury Schools around 35 minutes
Hospitality: Details of food and hospitality will be confirmed
Match Fees: To be confirmed for the season
Refereeing
As part of playing in the league, there is an expectation that players will referee one of the matches during the evening.
Don’t worry if you haven’t refereed before. We’ll help you with this and make sure you know what you’re doing. The aim is to make it straightforward and ensure everyone gets involved in running the team matches.
This applies to both our Squash and Racketball / Squash 57 teams.
You’ll also be invited to the team group chat, where players can discuss fixtures, availability and results.
As usual, team results will also be shared with the wider club through the Lilleshall WhatsApp group.
Before You Can Play
To be eligible to play in the league, you must have a valid England Squash number.
We need this number to register you on SportyHQ, which is used to manage the league and team fixtures.
If you don’t have a valid England Squash number, we cannot add you to the team and you won’t be able to play in league matches.
Don’t Have an England Squash Number?
It’s straightforward to get one.
Visit the England Squash website and create an account.
Choose the Just Play membership option, which currently costs £15.
Just Play membership also gives you 10% off at PDH Sports, a specialist retailer of squash and Racketball equipment and clothing. Visit PDH Sports
Once you’ve registered, you’ll have your England Squash number.
You can then text your number directly to us, and we’ll take care of adding you to the team on SportyHQ.
