Welcome to the home of the City Houses Squash Racquets Association (CHSRA). Since the early 1950's we have been organising inter-business house squash competitions in the heart of the Sydney CBD. Our aim is to give the participating players an opportunity to get to know each other and get a great workout at the same time.
Competition Overview
- The team's competition is played Monday to Friday excluding Public Holidays. A Grade is generally kept to Monday nights only, with all other grades sharing all nights of the week.
- The start date is the 1st Monday in May and we complete by late September (before school holidays).
- Combined AGM and Grading Meeting are held 4 weeks before competition start date.
- A representative from the NSW Squash Referees committee will conduct an evening rules session to assist all players in the interpretation of squash rules. This is usually held in the week prior to the commencement of competition.
- The cost for each team in 2010 is approx. $360, with $35 for a box of a dozen squash balls. One team must supply a new ball on the night.
- Squash courts provided by companies have a reduction in their company team fees. Any commercial courts used are fully paid by the Association.
- Teams require 4 players each week (3 only for A Grade), and no restriction on the total number for each team, however players must have played 4 matches to qualify for semi finals and finals. Number of rounds can range from 12 to 16. Teams can be mixed or of one gender.
- Winners and runners up from each grade receive prizes for six team members. Extra cost is involved for any additional members requiring prizes.
- An annual dinner is held close to the end of competition, usually in October on a Friday evening in the City where the prizes are handed out.
