About the 22 Wing Squash League
To play squash in the league you need a membership with the 22 Wing Fitness and Wellness Center (the military base at the top of airport hill). You can reach the facility's front desk at 705-494-2011 ext 2610 for questions about memberships.
The league uses a website called SportyHQ to manage all of our league matches and court bookings. Check out our squash community’s profile page. Sign-up for an account with SportyHQ and then visit our profile page to register (between September and April) as a member of our squash community. Once a member on SportyHQ you can participate in our league.
Registration is open the first two scheduling cycles of each Fall and Winter seasons. This allows for competitive play and ranking movements, which seed our playoffs tournament brackets.
The 22 Wing Fitness & Wellness center lets the squash community self-organize and run for free as an available athletics program to the rest of the members. The only requirement is that you have an active membership with the facility to be enrolled in the league.
Our squash league follows a box league model which operates on a three week schedule where you play one game a week.
Our league seasons are organized into cycles of what's called a "box league". With a box league, all players are divided into small groups of 3-5 players and matches are coordinated within a cycle of 2-4 weeks. Players of each box must compete against each other for points. At the end of the cycle, players move up or down a box according to points earned within the cycle.
Our box league is organized in the following way.
A three week schedule will be released to the players at the beginning of each cycle. Typically the schedule is released the Friday before the start of the next cycle. Games are scheduled Saturday’s between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm or Wednesday between 5:15 pm and 7:30 pm. Matches will be booked primarily on Saturdays with Wednesday being an overflow day. Please use the “preferred times” feature of your Sporty HQ profile. We’ll try our best to honor this preferred time (wed vs sat or time specific).
Your matches will be visible on our court bookings page of SportyHQ, and an email is automatically sent to you when the matches are booked.
We fully recognize that players might not be able to play their scheduled match. In the event of a reschedule, players must communicate with each other and pick a time that works. Visit the membership directory page on our SportyHQ profile for opponent contact info.
Important: if you do not respond to a reschedule request within 48 hours, it may result in a 3-0 default. We need to talk to each other to make this work.
If you no-show your opponent twice within a single cycle you’ll have to sit out the next cycle. We need players to respect each other's time and efforts. No one likes showing up to a match only to have no opponent.
We've set up our SportyHQ profile with courts and times that correspond with what The Base has blocked off as "league only court times''.
On the SportyHQ site, select court bookings from the 22 Wing Squash Community profile page, you’ll see bookable courts on Wednesdays and Saturdays. If you don’t see the court bookings it’s because you need to make sure you’re a member of our Squash Community in the SportyHQ site and you need to have squash selected as a sport that you play under your profile.
If you reschedule a match (regardless if it's in app during league time, or with front desk for regular court time) please, make sure to cancel your booking in the SportHQ app to make the court available to others.
