A few people have asked me recently when and where forthcoming amateur tournaments are being held. The following is a list of tournaments, mostly held annually. Bear in mind that the month shown is when the tournament was last held in recent years and the exact date may be subject to change. It is best to google the tournament that interests you a few months in advance - a few are posted on the England Squash & Racketball website, county websites, Facebook; or you can find information and entry forms on the relevant club website.

One of the biggest failings of squash imho. I had been playing for two years before I learned of their existence. There used to be a good resource called GoSquash which advertised these events but its disappeared. They are great fun and not only do you get to play squash against a range of opponents, but also watch some good squash at very close quarters
