— The courts

Open when you are.
Two courts. 24/7.

Members play any day, any hour. In winter the courts are pre-heated before peak times so your muscles are ready — no cold-start injuries. Lit with a £1 coin, yours until the buzzer. Full-size, competition-grade, well looked after.

— How the mini league works

Climb your way up.

Sign up, get drawn into a division of four, play your three group opponents over the round. Win and you move up next round. Lose and you drop. Every three new players opens another division.

  1. 1

    Sign up

    Add your name to the next draw. Round one launches the moment we hit eight players.

  2. 2

    Get drawn in

    You’ll land in a division of four. Three opponents, three matches across the round — arrange them direct with your group.

  3. 3

    Climb or drop

    Top of your division goes up next round. Bottom drops. Middle holds. Keep playing, keep climbing.

— New: the club ladder

TAKE THE RUNG ABOVE.

One ladder, all year, never resets. Every league player holds a rung — challenge anyone up to three above you, seven days to play, winner takes the spot. Go quiet for three weeks and gravity starts pulling you down.

1976 — 2026

Half a century of club squash in North Yorkshire. Generations of members, thousands of matches, two courts that have heard more drop shots than anywhere in town. The anniversary year runs through 2026 — a championship, a plate, a doubles event, and the stories behind every trophy in the cabinet.

Round feed

Live scores from this round. Submitted matches count immediately — opponents can dispute until round end.

No results yet — first match of the round earns bragging rights.

How it works

Format

Divisions of 4. Each player plays 3 matches per round — one against each player in the group.

Scoring

Best of 5 games to 15 points, clear by 2. You earn 1 league point per game won. Win 3–1 = 3 pts to you, 1 to opponent.

Promotion & Relegation

Top player moves up a division. Bottom player moves down. Two stay put each round, so divisions keep continuity while abilities settle.

Timing

Each round runs approx 4 weeks. Arrange matches directly with your group via WhatsApp, phone or in-site message.

The moves

Every climb, defence and slip — newest first.

How the ladder works

Challenging

Challenge anyone up to three rungs above you — one, two or all three at once. The only limit is one open challenge per pairing, and several players can chase the same rung.

The week

Seven days to play from the moment a challenge lands. Best of 5 to 15, clear by 2 — same as the boxes. Either player reports the score.

Movement

Beat someone above you and you take their rung — everyone between slips down one. Defend your rung and nothing moves.

Gravity

Three idle weeks and you slip a rung a week until you play again. The ladder rewards playing, not sitting.

Ducking

A challenge left unplayed after seven days hands the challenger your rung.

Club rating

The number by each name starts at your declared level and moves with every confirmed result, boxes and ladder alike. Margin counts — a 3-0 shifts more than a 3-2. The rung is the pecking order; the rating is the form guide.

Legacy

Who we are

Thirsk Squash Club is a community sports club based at Newsham Road, Thirsk, North Yorkshire, YO7 1QP. We are part of Thirsk Athletics Club. We can be contacted at the address above or via the contact form on this website.

What data we collect

When you become a member or contact us we may collect:

Why we collect it

We collect this data to manage your membership, process payments, send renewal reminders, administer league competitions, and communicate important club information. Our legal basis is contract performance (membership agreement) and legitimate interests (running a sports club).

Emails we'll always send (essential)

These are part of running your membership and don't require separate consent:

Emails you can opt in to (optional)

Three granular consent categories, each independent — tick whichever you want in your profile:

Legal basis for these is consent. You can toggle any of them on or off at any time via your profile page — we record the date of each change as an audit trail.

How long we keep it

We keep membership records for 3 years after membership expires for accounting and legal purposes. Booking and results data is kept for the duration of your membership plus 1 year. You can request deletion at any time.

30-day grace window on account deletion. When you delete your account via the profile page we immediately wipe your personal details (name, phone, date of birth, preferences), cancel your bookings, league signups and messages, and anonymise any match results so historic standings stay accurate. A minimal record (your email and the deletion date) is retained for 30 days so that if you change your mind you can sign back in and restore access to the site. Your membership payment is not refunded or restored during reactivation — you would need to renew your membership if you want to use the site again. After 30 days this minimal record is permanently purged by the committee.

Who has access

Your data is accessible to committee members of Thirsk Squash Club and to the third-party processors that run the site and send communications on our behalf. We do not sell your data or share it for marketing. Our processors:

Your rights

Under UK GDPR you have the right to:

Access and deletion are self-service. Sign in and go to your profile — you can view a readable summary of everything we hold on you (print or save as PDF), or delete your account outright. Match history is retained but anonymised so league standings stay accurate. For any other request (correction of a committee-held record, objection to processing), contact us via the contact page.

Cookies & local storage

This website does not use tracking cookies or analytics. We use your browser's local storage to keep you signed in between visits (Supabase session token). You can clear this at any time via your browser settings or by signing out.

Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your data, you can contact the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk or call 0303 123 1113.
