Membership Frequently Asked Questions  

Why did the membership structure change?  

We worked closely with clubs and regional representatives to design a new membership structure that is fairer, more flexible, and better suited to the needs of Scottish squash players.

Under the old system, clubs paid fees based on the number of teams entered into leagues. While participation grew, income did not keep pace, meaning demand for Scottish Squash services rose, but our ability to deliver was stretched.

The new model ensures that:

  • Fees are more equitable – clubs and players pay for what they actually use.

  • Clubs have more choice – making membership work for them.

  • Resources grow alongside participation – helping us all to develop squash in Scotland.

What do I get for my membership fee?  

Your Squash in Scotland membership opens the door to a range of benefits, including:

  • Eligibility to play in inter-club leagues and competitions.

  • Exclusive early access and discounts on squash event tickets.

  • Personal accident insurance for all Player members.

  • Support for the growth and development of squash across Scotland.

Is membership for me?  

  • If you play in a league or multi-club competition → You’ll need a Player membership to continue competing.

  • If you’re not competing right now → You can still enjoy valuable perks such as event discounts, personal accident insurance cover, and the satisfaction of supporting the sport you love.

In short, whether you’re a competitor, a casual player, or a passionate supporter, there’s value in joining.

Do I need to be a Squash in Scotland member to enter competitions? 

Bronze competitions sanctioned by Scottish Squash will continue to be open to all squash players in Scotland, subject to the rules set out by individual clubs. 

Players wishing to compete in Silver, Gold, Platinum and Masters circuit events will need an active Squash in Scotland player membership. 

Do I get a membership card?

No, you won’t receive a membership card. Once you become a Squash in Scotland member your SportyHQ profile will be updated to reflect this, and will grant you access to multi-club leagues and competitions.
