Please sign up to be a substitute!
This page contains information and instructions on how to sign up for the 2015-2016 Winter Squash League at the Portland, Maine YMCA. Registration is now closed.
The Winter League will run in addition to the Box League. Both leagues are open to all players and you may play in both. To be fair, however, we want to make sure that Winter League players understand that the expectations of the Winter League are different from the Box League. In both cases when you sign up for a league you are making a commitment to other people and you are expected to honor your commitment.
Winter League structure:
- All matches must be played on the designated league night during the designated time period. No exceptions and no flex scheduling.
- Players are expected to come and play AND referee another match during the league match time period for your team. You are participating in a team and your team expects you to be an active and supportive team member.
- All players will be expected to both score and referee other matches. This means that you should either arrive early or stay late to score or referee a match. Your captain will help you with this.
- Players that cannot make their scheduled matches are expected to find a substitute. The league will maintain a list of subs.
- League will be subject to league rules and the YMCA code of conduct
- Season will start in early December and finish in mid March. Holidays and vacation weeks will be skipped. Playoffs will be at the end of the season.
- Team size will depend on the number of players that sign up for the league and the distribution of players in the various skill levels. Our goal is for 36-48 players that can commit to playing a specific schedule at a specific time.
- If possible the league would be a single weekday… either Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday evenings from 5:45-9pm. We’ll try to arrange the week night(s) to allow the most players to play.
- Teams will be built by the league based on player abilities, random seeding and, depending on demand, selection of players by captains.
- League is open to all ability levels. We do ask, however, that all players have a basic understanding of the game and be willing to commit to their team and team responsibilities for the season. If you are a beginner or are very new to the game it might be best to start in the Box League or limit your role in the Winter League to being a substitute.
