Squash SA membership renewals

Message from Squash SA:

It has come to our attention that some squash players are paying their annual Squash SA registrations/renewals directly into the Squash SA Bank Account: 0039 88910.  PLEASE REFRAIN from making deposits into this account as we are not able to process payments.  SportyHQ makes provision for on-line payments through the PayFast portal which provides an automated payment process.

Another matter which is apparent is that players are creating new profiles on SportyHQ when their profiles already exist and this then leads to duplication of profiles.  This means that another membership number is also generated and this adds to the confusion.  There is a distinct difference between ‘renewal’ (players are already on SportyHQ database) and ‘registering on SportyHQ’ (first time member).

If you have registered with Squash SA as a member in 2015, 2016 and 2017 then you will have a profile on SportyHQ.  Please then contact Squash SA to provide you with the activation link to your profile on SportyHQ.

If there is any doubt of the status of a member, please feel free to contact our offices at 011 442 8056 or drop us an e-mail at membership@squashsa.co.za.
