Host a Tournament

Squash Ontario operates three tournament categories available to Member Clubs in good standing to host: Provincial Championships, Junior Tournaments, and Community Tournaments. Every event will use the Club Locker software where players have access to online results, ratings, rankings, and tournament organizers have access to live scoring.

Please click on the tournament type below for more information about hosting.

HOST A Provincial Championship or a junior tournament

Bidding is currently open for Provincial Championship events for the 2025/2026 squash season. Bidding will close on March 28, 2025, at which point bidding will open for Junior Gold, Silver and Grand Prix events.

New in 2025/2026

To increase female participation in competitions, every host will be expected to participate in goal setting and planning meetings to achieve 5-10% higher female participation.
Multi-year bids are strongly encouraged to assist Squash Ontario and Tournament Hosts with planning, fundraising, community grants, etc.
Facilities with four courts or less (for singles) are welcome to bid on an event, but will need to indicate a secondary facility for overflow courts or indicate alternative dates for some of the divisions.

HOST A JUNIOR Bronze Tournament

Junior Bronze events are fun, typically half day events with modified rules and games for novice players, typically aged 7-15. Bronzes are run by the club and players are often placed into groups based on their skill level, not age or gender. There is no effect on rankings for these events and registration is done directly through the host club, unless noted otherwise.

Bronze Events that are sanctioned through Squash Ontario for $40 will be covered by our event insurance, advertised on our website and in our weekly newsletters. Squash Ontario would appreciate participation numbers after the event for Government reporting purposes. Once the form is received, Squash Ontario will reach to collect the sanction fee. Dates are secured on a first come, first serve basis.
