England Squash Membership is Changing

England Squash Membership is changing on 19 August to better connect clubs, coaches and players and unite the squash community.

The new scheme will provide a flexible and accessible gateway to squash that will support the game to thrive, allow more people to discover the game of their lives and enable more people to feel part of a unique community.

So what’s changing?

From 19th August, England Squash club affiliation and membership will change to a direct model.

What this means for clubs

Affiliated clubs will just pay court fees at £75 per court (capped at six courts) and still get access to great value money-saving benefits and discounts including:

  • £10 million insurance for your club
  • club team entry into county leagues and other local and national competitions
What this means for players

All current members of an England Squash affiliated club will need to join England Squash directly and choose from five player membership categories that offer unbeatable value including discounts of up to 70% off SQUASHTV.

Where your money goes

Every penny of membership income is reinvested back into the sport helping to grow the game you love – from helping support clubs to deliver more ground-breaking programmes like Mixed Ability Squash to delivering 100+ competitive opportunities for your juniors every year.

Please note, for any player wishing to compete in our county competitions and leagues, we will be mandating them to purchase the new Just Play player membership.

As your county association, we receive 20% of all England Squash membership and affiliation income which is hugely important to us as it enables us to support the game locally and create more opportunities for people to play.

We encourage all clubs to fully support the new membership scheme at all levels and encourage all players to renew their membership and access the great value discounts and benefits.

The new England Squash membership is the most comprehensive way to compete, play, support and explore the game of squash – find out how it will benefit your club and your players at englandsquash.com.
