England Squash membership update

England Squash membership

England Squash Membership is changing

England Squash Membership is changing on 19 August to better connect players, coaches and clubs, 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 our unique community.

So what's changing?

Currently, your England Squash player membership is paid by the club which is affiliated to England Squash. From August, player membership and club affiliation will be split which means you will need to purchase your player membership directly from England Squash when our club affiliation is due for renewal.

When it's time to purchase your player membership, you'll be able to choose from five membership categories that offer unbeatable value including discounts of up to 70% off SQUASHTV. We'll support you with the transition and signpost you to where to sign up before your England Squash player membership is due to lapse.

Where membership fees goes

100% of England Squash membership fees are re-invested right back into the sport. Your membership will help to grow the game you love - from supporting clubs like ours to deliver ground-breaking programmes like Mixed Ability Squash to delivering 100+ competitive opportunities for juniors every year.

Find out more

The new membership is the most comprehensive way to compete, play, support and explore the game of squash - whatever your level. Find out more at englandsquash.com.

We’re pleased to share an update with clubs on the launch of the new England Squash membership and affiliation scheme this summer - with highlights including a confirmed implementation date and finalised membership category names.

Launch date

The new membership scheme will be implemented on Monday 19 August. With many clubs having an affiliation renewal date between 1 June and 1 August, we are extending these renewal dates to coincide with the implementation date. As we move closer to your renewal date, we’ll provide you with regular reminders.

Membership category names

We’re excited to unveil the category names for membership following consultation with clubs, players, counties and coaches. The categories will be named:

Community (Free): For anyone wanting to be part of the thriving squash community.
Support (£10): For volunteers, supporters and parents who want to give back to the game and support the growth of squash.
Junior (£15): For under 19s who love playing squash.
Just Play (£15) For adults who enjoy playing in leagues and competitions or just for fun.
Play Plus (£25): For adult players keen to accelerate their game to the next level.

Your affiliation renewal

A quick recap of what will happen when your affiliation’s up for renewal:

Your club/venue will only have to pay an affiliated club fee based on the number of courts you have (£75 per court, capped at six courts).
Your players’ England Squash membership will expire and they will need to manage their membership directly with England Squash. More details here.

List all your members now

From August, you’ll no longer be able to add additional members on your club dashboard. Therefore, we urge you to list details of all of your declared club members so that they can continue to receive all of their membership benefits, like insurance and league eligibility and be kept up-to-date with all of the changes to their individual membership. Log into your dashboard now.

Supporting your club

Our team are busy preparing a membership toolkit of graphics and messaging resources to help you communicate effectively with your members and signpost them where to buy player membership directly. We’ll share this with you in the coming days. We’re keen to support you any way we can, and if you have any questions or need more support, please get in touch.
