ABOUT OPEN LEAGUE

The Southern Squash League’s Open League is our largest and most competitive league — with teams from across Melbourne battling it out over multiple divisions.

It’s open to all players, regardless of gender, with grades to suit everyone from experienced pennant regulars to emerging club players.

Whether you're returning after a break, climbing the rankings, or just want to test yourself, there’s a team that fits.

We run three major Open Pennant seasons annually.

Who Can Join?
  • New and experienced players
  • Players from any Melbourne club
  • Anyone who wants a structured, team-based squash competition

Clubs place players into appropriate teams based on skill level. New players will be assessed
