NCS runs one of the largest singles team leagues in the country, with over 200 players competing in five divisions for both men and women. The winter league season generally runs from November-March with matches at clubs around the National Capital region.
There are divisions for all skill levels, from beginner and low intermediate to elite play in the premier division.
How to Join a Team
Contact your club’s team captain to join a League team roster. (To figure out who your club team’s captain is for each skill level, check the Team Page or ask your club pro.) Fall-Winter League Teams form in October, though teams may add players throughout the season.
If you can’t find a team at your club, fill out this online form. After that date, send an email to the VP for League, league@nationalcapitalsquash.org, with your US SQUASH skill rating and where you live and work. We will attempt to place you on a team that needs players.
Match Schedule
In November, the season schedule will be posted on the Leagues Online webpage.
