About the Leagues

New Mills has provided many talented squash players over the years and continues to support a healthy league and team set-up. Interest in Squash at New Mills Leisure Centre really took off during 1981 when the first tournament took place. A large entry enjoyed a great competition run over 2 weekends.

With competition improving all the time we launched our first league system in December 1981.

Squash players

The present teams are having a fine season and are well placed in their respective divisions of the North West Counties League. New Mills Leisure Centre's Squash Leagues are run by the leisure centre on behalf of the squash players who enjoy that added element of competition in their games in a warm, friendly environment.

League Rules

Each league is made up of 5 people who have 5 weeks to play each other. At the end of 5 weeks a member of staff will add up all the points and calculate how the leagues will be changed.

  1. All games must be played with a double yellow spot ball unless both players agree.
  2. All matches to be played to the best of 5 games.
  3. Before you begin, decide with your partner what you should do if you don't finish the game. Play again or let the result stand.
  4. Each player is awarded 1 point for turning up and 1 point for each game won e.g. Tom beats Fred by 3 games to 1. Tom gets 4 points and Fred gets 2. These points are to be put in to the box on the ladder.
  5. All games must be completed by the dates on the board.
  6. Each player is responsible for organising their own games.
  7. If any player does not play for 2 league periods then they will be dropped from the leagues (Unless injured!)
  8. In the event of any disagreement, the organiser's word is final.
  9. In the event of a player being unreasonably late (10 mins) then the game will be forfeit.
  10. If a player is unable to continue a match due to injury then :-
    • If you have completed 1 game then the match is nullified.
    • If you have completed more than one game then the result will stand.
  11. If a player offers 3 separate fixtures for a game to an opponent and they are all declined then the former may claim 3 points to 0.
  12. We reserve the right to extend league periods without notice.
  13. If a player only manages to play one game, either due to other commitments or, because of injury, then their results do not count and points against them are deducted from the opponent claiming points.

Remember

If a court is cancelled or not attended then unless it is relet, you may have to pay a cancellation fee.

Code of Conduct

Although games are competitive, they should be sporting and friendly. You are responsible for arranging games with another player. This works both ways.

As a general reminder, be punctual, be fair and be competitive.

  1. If, when the leagues are changed and two players in a league have the same number of points then the points against each player will be compared to decide movement.
    If this is not available then the result of the game where they played each other will be used.
  2. If this is not available then a coin toss will decide.
    There may be occasions where a whole division does not play a game. This will be dealt with as fairly as possible.
  3. In order to maintain the courts please ensure that your squash shoes have gum rubber soles.
