England has a strong tradition of team squash and there is a healthy structure within most clubs and counties.

The National Club Championships (NCC) is a competition that gives club teams the opportunity to meet new people and to test themselves against other players and clubs around the country.

Entries for the NCC have now been opened for the coming season, the competition is the pinnacle of team squash and a fantastic opportunity to play new people in a friendly but competitive environment.

The NCC has been running since 1969, when Lansdowne Squash Club became the first club to name themselves the national club champions. Since its inception the NCC has grown and in addition to the Men and Women it now includes seven other categories to enter:

Men's Team - 5 players

Women's Team - 5 players

Women’s Over 35 – 3 players

Men’s Over 35 – 5 players

Men’s Over 45 – 3 players

Men’s Over 55 – 3 players

Junior Mixed – 3 boys and 2 girls

Racketball – 5 players

Non County Mixed – 2 men and 2 women
(must not have represented their county at any time)

For many, this competition is a fun addition to their season however there is an extra competitive element in the Men’s and Women’s categories as the winners of the NCC get put forward to compete in the European Club Championships.

For the first half of the season teams will play 3 or 4 matches in a regionalised group stage where you will play clubs in or around your region with some games being at home (based in your club) and some away.

The winners and runners up of these groups will then move into a knockout stage which culminates at the Finals Weekend in May. The competition is open to all clubs in England to enter and we also offer one free entry to all premier division (or equivalent) county league winners.
