About
Event 7 - 2025 UK Racketball Series

​What: The Racketball National Championships
When: 18th / 19th / 20th July 2025
IMPORTANT NOTE: You must be available to play on Friday evening from 5pm at Edgbaston Priory if needed. Draws of over 16 entries will have first rounds on Friday evening

Where: Edgbaston Priory Club, Birmingham, B15, 2UZ
Sutton Coldfield Squash Club, Birmingham, B73 5QB

Closing Date: Friday 4th July 2025. PLEASE NOTE that due to the nature of the event we will have a maximum entry capacity (200 players roughly) that we need to stick to for the schedule to work as efficiently as possible. Therefore please note that we may need to close entry prior to the 4th July if the event entry is maxxed out.

Cost: £40.00 (includes top quality quick dry sublimated t-shirt)
Cost 2nd Grade: £20.00

NOTE: There will be some live music and some food & drinks deals on for all players on the Saturday night of the tournament at the club, kicking off roughly when the last matches are finishing. More details to follow shortly!

ABOUT THE GRADES:

This year we are running A, B and C Grades for the Mixed event, and Ladies A and B Grades. This is in a bid to try and encourage more entrants into the open categories while still making sure players get lots of matches and equal competition! Both events will all start out as the ''A Grade'' with Mixed first round losers moving straight into the C Draw. Ladies first round losers to the B draw. These then play out separately.

Then in the Mixed A/B category, the loser of this next round then moves into the B Grade, with the remainder finishing up the A! So everyone will be guaranteed 3 matches in the event, with prizes for each Grade finalist.

In theory the Grade levels should roughly be:

A Grade - Top county team, UK Racketball Series event A Grade regulars, top U19 juniors
B Grade - Lower county team, UK Racketball Series event B Grade regulars, newly converted Squash players, U19 and under juniors
C Grade - UK Racketball Series event B Grade occasionals, club players, newly converted club level Squash players, U15 and under juniors.

NOTE: We will be allowing all Junior player entrants FREE OF CHARGE entry into the Men's and Ladies Open categories (as long as those draws aren’t exceeding the 32 entry limit) in a bid to promote the sport. So you pay your Junior entry and then contact to register the extra event.

ALSO INTRODUCING: Sunday morning fun Doubles tournament running 9am - 11.30am. More details on entry to follow shortly.

IMPORTANT: Please email with your tournament shirt size and type on entry. (Ladies entrants have the choice of a standard t-shirt or a vest top.) Also if you have any potential start time issues over the event.
