The leagues are the mainstay of squash played at the club. Run on a calendar month basis, nearly all the squash players in the club play regular league matches throughout the year.

The leagues provide the opportunity for all squash playing members to play regularly against members of similar ability. The monthly promotion/relegation system is a great incentive for players to get their matches in and maintain their level of play.

Most adult coaching is on an individual basis although there are team level group sessions in the squash season.

There is a large junior squash coaching programme at Ilkley over 100 children taking part in regular lessons. The groups are structured in a progression basis with sessions offered to all ages from 4/5 years upwards.

The club also operates a Performance Squad which focuses more intensive coaching and training on any juniors who have good ability and have shown a commitment to playing tournament squash.

The club is well represented in local leagues. The men have teams in the Harrogate League and the Bradford Metro league. The ladies have teams in the Leeds Metro league.
We have junior teams in local Harrogate squash leagues and arrange regular matches against other clubs
