Squash on Fire

COME AND PLAY WITH US.
NO MEMBERSHIP REQUIRED.

Court Booking - our standard off-peak play session pricing to book a court is $35. This fee can be split between two players. Our peak pricing (weekday evenings and weekend mornings) is $45. You can also get access to our super saver rate of $25 by playing at the crack of dawn or late night.

We now have a ball machine available for rental when you book a solo play session. The machine can be reserved in advance by emailing manager@squashonfire.com. You can also request to use it when you check in for your court. However, making a reservation in advance is recommended to increase the chances of the machine being available. The charge for renting the machine is $25 per session. A Squash On Fire staff member will set up the machine for you on your arrival and explain the procedures for its use. Please be aware that one of the requirements is to wear eye protection.

Furthermore, we now have Video Analysis available! Record your play session and then you and a coach will analyze the footage and come up with a training plan to optimize your game!

For players with squash reservations the gym area is available for you to use before or after your session. Please adhere to the social distancing guidelines set up in the space. We have also partnered with The Fit Files to offer personal training sessions. Email The Fit Files at thefitfiles@gmail.com to book your session and you can learn more about their programs here.

LADDER AND LEAGUE

The 2023 Summer Ladder will run as a 15-week tournament from May 1 – August 13. We are planning on continuing our Sprint Series feature to help create more competition within the ladder and give players the opportunity to win prizes every two weeks along with the overall season long spoils!

In addition, we are excited to run another of the Ladder Play Offs on Wednesday, August 16 that will also double as an end of season celebration to which all ladder participants are invited.

To generate the most enjoyable and engaging environment for all the participants, the ladder will be split into divisions from Monday, June 26. This means that during the final half of the season we will see a series of concurrent battles as competitors strive to win their respective divisions.

As ever, the goal is to encourage players of all skill levels to take part! The concept of evenly matched games will also apply to the formatting of Ladder Nights that we will run on the following evenings:

Ladder nights: Each ladder night costs $35 to participate in and you’ll play three matches in a 1.5 hours period against three others around your level. It is also possible to use play credits to cover playing in ladder nights.

Signing up: To sign up, log into your Squash On Fire account and purchase one of the Ladder packages below. All packages cover administrative/organizational fees, weekly communications, prizes and the end of season party on 8/16.

Summer Ladder Regular Package $60 – Covers entry into the Summer Ladder and a cafe drinks voucher for Wednesday, August 16

Summer Ladder Pro Package $240 – Covers entry into the Summer Ladder, 15 off-peak play credits (usable at all times aside from 6 - 7:30 pm on weekdays and 9 - 11:30 am on weekends) to use during this ladder season and a cafe drinks voucher for Wednesday, August 16

Booking matches: Before the ladder begins on May 1, you will be sent your official Ladder email so you will know who is participating and have their contact information to book matches. You can then get to work on submitting challenges to others and scoring points!

Scoring:

All matches will be the best of 5 games
Scores should be recorded on a ladder scorecard and returned to the front desk team post play
Per match played = 1 point to each player
Result of play = 3 points to the winner, 0, 1 or 2 points to the loser depending on the number of games won
Bonus point = the winning player receives an additional point for a 3 - 0 margin of victory
In addition, if you beat someone ranked above you on the “SOF Rank” tab then all points gained will be doubled. This means that it is possible to score 10 points in a single match if you defeat a higher ranked player 3-0.
You may only submit up to a maximum of 2 matches against the same opponent on any given day of ladder play
We will again have a player ratings (A, B or C) column on the ladder standings for informational purposes so that participants have some assistance in their match planning

US Squash Ratings: It is possible for ladder matches to count for US Squash ratings in Club Locker. If you'd like your activity to count, please make sure you provide your US Squash number to Will Hopton (whopton@squashonfire.com)

Sprint series: Every 2 weeks, we will host a different Sprint series with the theme and prizes for each series being announced prior to the start of that iteration. Towards the end of each Sprint, we will host a Ladder Night so you can earn some more points and enjoy a drink at the cafe with your fellow players and friends!

Overall Season Long Prizes:

1st Place Division 1 - SOF Engraved Ladder Trophy and a 60 mins clinic for up to 10 people

2nd Place Division 1 - A Tecnifibre Carboflex X-TOP 125 Racquet

3rd Place Division 1 - 45 Mins Playing Session with Ineta Mackevica (world #55 and 9-time Latvian National Champion)

Playoff Night – August 16: The top 8 finishers from Division 1 will be invited to participate in the Ladder Playoffs night on Wednesday, August 16. There will be no charge for court time for those playing. The exact format will be dictated by how many of the qualifiers can participate. There will be a prize in addition to those listed above for our Ladder Playoffs Champion! Every ladder player is invited to join us for the evening to support the players and take advantage of a complimentary café drinks voucher. Mark your calendars now for what promises to be a fantastic evening on and off the courts!

Squash On Fire League

We are excited to announce the Summer 2023 edition of the in-house Squash On Fire league. The league will run on Sunday evenings at 5 pm starting from June 11 and conclude with playoffs and finals on Sunday, August 27. Each Sunday there is usually time for some additional social play after the league matches have wrapped up. There will be no matches scheduled for 7/2.

Teams will field a match-day roster of 5 players totaling 17.5 US Squash rating points or less. That maps into fielding rosters ranging from beginners to relatively advanced players. For the sake of clarity ever team needs beginners! Overall team rosters will have 8 - 10 players each so there is no need to be available every Sunday. This may change depending on interest levels.
Because the rating cap will be strictly enforced, matches will be competitive and balanced!
Don’t have a rating? We’ll assign you an initial rating and, after a few matches, you’ll have an official US Squash rating. To get a general idea of your rating, see the descriptions at https://www.ussquash.com/participate/rating-criteria/.
All players need to be paid US Squash members (see https://ussquash.org/membership/). That's $149 for 12 months starting from whenever you join.
Players also must have an account in the Squash On Fire system and have a payment method on file. This is very important for liability reasons.
All players who sign up will be charged $60 this covers your participation in 3 matches on different Sundays. From your 4th match of the season onwards dues will be $20 each time you play (and only when you play).
To sign up, click here and enter (1) your name and email address and (2) your desired frequency of play ("Most weeks" or "50%"). Optionally, you can also enter your rating, whether your US Squash membership is paid and active, your desired team, and any other notes that would help us place you on a team.
Please direct any league related questions to Will Hopton (whopton@squashonfire.com) or Cory Capps (corysc@gmail.com) and here is to another fantastic league season!
