The sheet on the wall
Box results arrive one at a time, by text and on scraps of paper, and the sheet by the courts is wrong by Wednesday.
Squash box leagues, ladder and courts
Squash club software that runs your box leagues for you
Clayside is club management software for UK squash clubs. Members put in their own box results, book a court on their phone and pay their subs by Direct Debit, and the round rolls over in two minutes rather than an evening.

The organiser's month
What running a squash club costs one volunteer
Rollover night
England Squash calls it an hour a month. Working out who goes up, rebuilding the boxes and telling everyone is never an hour.
Who is on court 2 at seven?
The booking sheet by the door, and two people who both thought they had it.
Boxes first
Boxes, courts and the club around them, in one system
Most squash clubs start with the boxes. Courts, subs and lessons follow on the same list of players, whenever the committee is ready.
Squash box leagues
Best of five to 11, PAR 15 if you play it, and racketball in a group of its own. Players put their own results in and promotion drafts itself.
How the box leagues work freeSquash court booking
Members book on their phone, one slot and one booking, one tap from their calendar. Agree a box match and a free court is one press away.
How court booking works club planSquash ladder and championships
A ladder for the matches the round has no room for, and the club draw made for you, plate and all.
freeLevels from your own results
Every box and ladder result builds one level per member, so a player coming over from the ladder starts in the right box. Your club's own, beside the national rating.
freeFind a game
Free at seven? Post it and players around your level see it. The first yes takes it, and on a club plan the court is one press away.
freeSquash club membership
Categories, juniors and annual subs by Direct Debit into the club's own account. We take no cut.
club planLessons with your club pro
A member asks the pro for a lesson and the pro says yes. The price is on the screen first.
club planTeam selection for county leagues
One press asks who can play the fixture. The captain picks from the yeses.

Do members who play the boxes renew more than those who do not? Counted for the AGM.

Squash box leagues that roll over in two minutes
Players put their own results in
Their opponent confirms, or three days of silence does. The table is right at midnight.
For the organiserNobody texts you a score again.
Promotion is a draft, not a decision
The moves are worked out from the table. Move anyone, place the newcomers, then press the button.
For the clubA new member finds the right box before they give up.
Boxes the size your club runs
Four, five or six to a box, and a minimum-matches rule if you use one.
For the playersThe next round is on their phone the same evening.

One system
The whole squash club in one place, with the ratings kept where they are
Boxes, courts, subs, teams and lessons share one list of players, so a new member is entered once and the sheet by the courts never goes stale.
SquashLevels
The national rating, kept where it is
Every result downloads as a spreadsheet, one row a match, to pass on to SquashLevels. Clayside runs the club around the boxes as well: the courts, the subs, the teams and the lessons, on one list of members. Want results sent across automatically? Tell us and we will build it.
Courts
Court booking that knows your box league
A court is booked by a member the club already knows, against the box match they just agreed. One slot, one booking, so two people cannot both have court 2 at seven.
Getting started
Set up between rounds, with a person to help
Your boxes, in by the next round
Paste the members in, set up this month's boxes, and the round is live. A practice run shows you round first, then clears itself away.
Private by design
No member sees another's phone or email, juniors included. Only the officers you pick hold them. Run in the UK, held in the EU, and the whole club downloads as one file on any plan.
Someone to ask
Email us while you set up and once the boxes are running. A question gets an answer from a person, on the free plan as much as any other.
It can pay for the Club plan
Sell the box league to a sponsor
Every round, the sponsor is at the top of the box page and at the foot of every result picture players share. On the Club plan you choose who it is: a physio, a racket stringer or the gym nearby. Sell it well and it covers the year, and we take no cut. On the free plan the slot is ours.

What squash clubs ask first
Does this replace SquashLevels?
It runs your boxes, so it can. Results do not go to SquashLevels automatically yet: every result downloads as a spreadsheet, one row a match, to pass on. If your club wants them sent across, tell us and we will build it.
How does the rollover work?
The moves are drafted from the table when the round ends. Change anything you like, place the newcomers, then press one button and the next round is on everyone's phone.
What about Squash 57 and racketball?
Squash 57, which was racketball, runs as its own group of boxes beside the squash ones, on the same scoring and with its own tables.
Can members pay the lights fee through it?
Not yet. Booking a court takes no money today, so the meter or the honesty box stays for now. If your club wants court and lights fees taken when a member books, tell us and we will build it with you.
Is there a squash box league rules template?
Yes. The box league rules template is free to copy: fill in your club's name, your box sizes and your dates, and pin it by the courts. The rules template.
Do players need an app or an account?
No. A link on their phone, their name to tap and no password.
Is there a free squash league app?
Every competition on Clayside is free for ever for a club of up to 300 members, if you join while the offer is open: as many boxes and seasons as you like, 8 club ladders, the championships, club nights, promotion and relegation, and career records. Nothing is held back for a bigger plan. A bigger club moves to the Club plan: £300 a year or £30 a month for up to 800 members. That plan runs your membership, the subs and the court diary too. On the free plan the sponsor line on the league page is ours. On the Club plan it is yours to sell, and it can pay for the year. See what is in each. The case for your committee. How the sponsor line works.
