What is the Spalding Box League?
A box league that runs itself
It's a box league. Each month you're in a small group, a box, of 4 or 5 players of a similar standard, and you play everyone in your box once. Finish in the top two and you move up a box. Finish in the bottom two and you move down. After a few months most of your matches are close.
It's open to the club's players of every age and level. There are no fixtures to wait for: you arrange your own matches, book your own court and enter your own scores. The app keeps the tables and moves everyone at the end of each month.
The season
December 2026 to September 2027
The first season is 10 months, one round each month. It starts on 1 December 2026 and the final month is September 2027. Then there is a two-month break in October and November 2027, and the trophies on the honours board are presented.

Juniors
Rules for junior players
Juniors use a parent's contact
A parent or guardian signs up players under 18 and gives consent. Every match is arranged with the parent: the app shows the parent's mobile or email, never the child's. Adults never message a junior directly. Outside their own box, players under 18 are shown by first name only.
Eyewear for under 19s
Protective eyewear is compulsory for every player under 19, in every league match, as England Squash requires for juniors. We strongly recommend it for everyone else too.
Played at the club
Matches with a junior are only played at the club, when it is staffed or a parent is there, never anywhere else.
How it works
How to play, step by step
Sign up once. After that, every month is the same three steps: book, play, upload.
- 1
Sign up
Sign in, tell us your level and add a mobile number or email. You go on the waiting list.
- 2
Get your box
On the 1st of the month you're placed in a box of 4 or 5 players of a similar standard. Your box-mates' contact details are in the app.
- 3
Book a court and play
Message your opponent, book a court at the club and play best of five games. Each game is first to 11 points, and at 10–10 you play on until someone is two points clear. There's no referee: you call the match yourselves, fairly.
- 4
Upload your score
Either player enters the score. Your opponent confirms it, or it confirms itself after 48 hours. If it's wrong, tap Dispute and an admin sorts it out.
How it updates
You play. The app keeps up.
Tables update as you play
Your box table changes as soon as a score is entered. Points are games won, so every game counts, even in a match you lose.
Moves happen on the 1st, automatically
At midnight on the 1st of each month the league closes the month. The top two players in each box move up a box, the bottom two move down, and your new box appears in the app.
Take a month off when you need one
Away, injured or busy? In Profile, choose Pause next month before the month ends. You sit out one month and come back at the bottom of the same box. Near the end of the season, a pause lasts until next season.
New players join every month
Sign up at any time. New players go on the waiting list and join a box on the 1st of the next month.
