ABOUT OPEN LEAGUE

The Friday Daytime League is a unique part of the Southern Squash League — built for players who prefer weekday play, enjoy a relaxed environment, and still love a good match.

Whether you’re retired, working flexible hours, or simply prefer your squash before the weekend begins, this league is designed with you in mind.

We run one major Open season annually - typically in Winter, kicking off around May
