Play
Whatever your standard of play and whether you just want to play socially or be involved in team and tournament squash, there are opportunities to play for everyone.
Playing socially
You may just prefer to play with a small circle of friends, or you can refer to your ratings on MMM to see which other members at the club might be playing at a similar level and invite them to play.
Club night
Club night is on a Friday evening 5.00pm – 7.15pm. This is a free session to members and is an ideal opportunity to meet other members of the club and play people of different levels. Sign up each week is via MMM.
Teams
Bedale Squash club currently have two mens teams and a ladies team competing in the Durham and Cleveland League. The team squads are made up of five players with the ladies generally playing on a Tuesday evening. The night of mens fixtures can vary depending on the home night of the opposing team.
For more info on D&C League.
We also have a number of teams entered in the NYSL (North Yorkshire Squash League), including a development squad. This is ideal for anyone new to team squash or as a platform for our more experienced junior players to progress into senior squash.
Whilst all our team squash is played with a competitive spirit there is always a friendly and social atmosphere on team nights particularly if a local derby is taking place. Spectators are always welcome to come and watch and perhaps have a drink from the bar.
Tournaments
At the end of the season each year the club runs an annual tournament. Categories include men’s and ladies open, veterans, handicap, juniors and racketball. The tournament usually runs over a three-week period and is open to all members at the club.
More recently the club has also run a very popular mixed ability team events. These are fun, social one day events so look out for news of the next tournament.
