Player Registration & Squash Australia Affiliation

All players need a current Squash Australia affiliation to compete in the Australian Open Racquetball Championships.

Already registered?

If you already hold a current Squash Australia-affiliated membership, you can proceed with your tournament entry as normal. A Local Membership is suitable for many players, while some existing Social memberships may also be eligible.

New to squash or racquetball and never registered before?

New players can access a FREE temporary MySquashPass, which provides the required Squash Australia affiliation for the event.

To register through Squash Victoria:

1. Visit Squash Victoria Registration or your State/Territory Association’s equivalent registration page
2. Select New Member
3. Select Temporary Membership
4. Choose MySquashPass

The Squash Victoria registration page currently lists MySquashPass as valid from 1 July to 30 September 2026. We have been advised by Squash Victoria that this will be extended to cover the Australian Open Racquetball Championships from 9-11 October.

Not sure what membership you need or having trouble entering?

Please get in touch with us. We’re happy to help with your Squash Australia affiliation or tournament entry and can manually process your event entry where required.

We don’t want registration to be a barrier to getting involved, so if you’re unsure, please reach out and we’ll help you through the process.
