Summer Box Ladder

Registration is open for Box Ladder Summer (May-August). The first set will start from 1 May to 31 May.

Welcome to our new squash ladder set for 2025. 

A Box Ladder has five players in each box, and each player has one month to play their matches. Within that month, each player plays the other four players in their box. At the end of the month, the scores are tallied, and the top two players move up to a box while the bottom two players move down a box. 

It is a great way to find new squash-playing partners, play at least four matches per month, and play your matches at your convenience. All levels of play are welcome, and it’s fun.

If you need further information about any of the above or are new and wish to join the ladder, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I will assist you as best I can.

The court booking fee of $60 covers the cost. When booking your match, it’s important to mention that it is for a box ladder.

 Begins week of May 2025, $60 for Summer(May-August); Click here to register for Box ladder
