LEICESTERSHIRE SQUASH LEAGUE
There is a major disparity between many clubs currently playing in Leicestershire League in
terms of player available for them to select to select teams from.
Some clubs have an excess of players and some people only play the occasional game.
Other clubs are trying to put out teams on a shoestring of players.
The solution seems obvious.
Create a list of players willing and wishing to be available for selection by "non-home clubs"
This list to be given to all Club Secretaries and Team Captains for them to use in times of need.
The list would contain, players name, home club, contact number, residential area.
The "loan" player would be treated as a member of the host club for the night.
They would pay the usual fee associated with that club, unless the hosts gave a discount to them.
If the "loan" player is a Junior then no fees are payable. The parent must have given permission
for their child to play, and ideally would be in attendance.
There would be no requirement for the "loan" player to play the stipulated 2 games in a half for
that club.
The "loan" player may play for several clubs during the season and will not be "tied".
The "loan" player will still be allowed to play for their home club.
The maximum number of games per season will apply. Currently 22 per season.
A "loan" player will not be allowed to play at number 1 for a team and his squash level will
dictate their position below number 1.
It is envisaged this will apply mainly to the lower leagues, but higher ranked players can be used
sensibly.
A form will be circulated to ALL clubs asking for names etc of players wishing to be on the list.
ANY CLUB NOT RETURNING THE FORM BEFORE THE SEASON STARTS WILL BE FINED 20 LEAGUE POINTS EVEN IF NO PLAYERS NAMES ARE ON IT.
