Introduction:
The Australian Club Championships is a club team’s event for men and women participating in Australian squash. This is an interclub event contested between teams of players from the same club. This event is played over a single period at the same venue. Participating clubs may enter as many teams as they like - players may only play in one team and division. This event is played from Friday to Sunday and all teams entered must be able to field a team on each day.
Teams will be put into divisions dependent on their combined grading and the total number of teams entered. This year the event is run alongside the Australian Squash Tour Finals so it also gives you the chance to see Australia’s best players in action at the same venue!
