We have more than 50 house league players, ranging from beginners to advanced levels. Barrhaven Squash club facilitates matching players based on previous months results - players are responsible for scheduling matches against others
At the beginning of each month, house ladder rankings are emailed based on the previous month's matches, along with an updated membership list. Players are grouped into a "house" with 4 or 5 other players.
For house league matches, you only contact players within your house and enter scores based on the results. For example, someone in House B will play matches with others in House B.
To set up a match, look up a player's email and schedule a game before the month ends. Record your scores on the Club's notice board next to court 2.
There are 4 courts available at Walter Baker Sports Center that can be booked through Online Booking Link
Club strongly recommends using eye protection!
You need to play at least one match per month to remain in the house league. If you cannot play even once, but want to remain in the league, please contact league admins to discuss accommodations.
However, if missing matches becomes a habit, you may be asked to leave the league until you can play regularly. One match per month keeps you in the league, but winning just one match may cause you to drop a house. To remain at your current level, winning at least two matches is typically needed, and winning at least three usually results in moving up.
Sometimes, players try to schedule matches but their opponents cancel last-minute or fail to show up. If this happens, please inform league admins.
If you made a good-faith effort to contact your opponent and they did not respond or canceled, email me. I will try to take this into account.
Honesty is expected—this league is about fair competition and enjoyment.
