The club software that speaks squash. From court to licensee card.
Paak already manages your members, fees, teams and compliance. For squash it goes further: live PAR-11 scoring with the squash vocabulary (winner, nick, drop, boast, tin), WSF Conduct sanctions, FFsquash licensee profile, and full Squash 11 / Squash 57 support.
- Live scoring — winner, nick, drop, boast, lob, stroke, tin, unforced error, attributed to the player
- WSF Conduct sanctions — Warning → Stroke → Game → Match, with differentiated rating impact
- Honorabilité (8 March 2024 law) — coaching staff tracked, reminders before expiry
Free up to 100 members. No credit card. Set up in 30 seconds.
Everything a squash club runs, in one platform.
Squash enters Olympic history.
In October 2023, squash was voted into the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic programme. It will be the first Olympic squash in history — after multiple rejected bids since Athens 2004. For French clubs, the 2025-2028 window opens a generational opportunity for recruitment, communications towards local authorities and visibility for sponsors.
Winner, nick, tin — every shot to the right player.
A generic spreadsheet buckets a nick as an ordinary winner. That's wrong. During the match, a tap adds each shot to the player's profile — from your phone, courtside — following the squash vocabulary: four primary attacking shots, two neutral stats, two penalties.
- Winner, nick, drop, boast — four distinct primary attacking shots
- Defensive lob and stroke (neutral), tin and unforced error (penalties)
- Best-of-5, PAR-11 — win by 2 points clear above 10-10, no substitutions
A licensee card that speaks squash.
Every action in a match feeds the card. The nick share of winners says something specific: millimetric precision on attacking shots. The FFsquash licensee profile keeps the preferred variant, playing style, playing hand and ranking.
- Winners vs errors ratio and attacking-shot share — raw offensive efficiency
- Nick share of winners and tin error rate — precision and risk-taking
- Preferred variant, playing style, playing hand, optional PSA ranking
- Racket weight (110-200 g) and fastest shot (km/h, radar)
Squash 11 or Squash 57 — same licensee profile.
Squash in France is played in two formats. Paak handles both within the same licensee profile, with a preferred-variant field that helps the coach place each member into the right training slot.
Squash 11 PAR standard
Competition squash with the standard ball. Best-of-5 format, rally-point scoring to 11 (PAR-11), win by 2 points clear above 10-10. This is what most ranked FFsquash adults play.
- Best of 5 games, PAR-11
- 9.75 m × 6.40 m court, yellow-dot or white-dot ball
- Standard format from Cadet (15-16) upward in competition
Squash 57 ex-Racketball
Slower-ball variant with a longer racket, same court. More accessible for beginners, juniors and veterans — lower physical demand, longer rallies, same tactical depth. Practice has grown steadily since 2020.
- Same PAR-11 scoring
- Same court, slower ball
- Natural target: youth sections, adult beginners, veterans
If your club wants to separate Squash 11 and Squash 57 match sheets with distinct stats, we promote Squash 57 to its own discipline (same pattern as Gi/No-Gi in BJJ). Today both variants share one scoring engine — sufficient for the vast majority of clubs in 2026.
Les Balles — nine tiers on the youth card.
The nine official tiers of the Les Balles progression (FFsquash École de Jeunes federal label) are integrated as a profile field on each youth licensee. From the first Pastille bleue through to the senior Balle blanche, each milestone is tracked on the athlete card — coaches always know who to assess at the next test session.
Official validation thresholds: 8/10 for the blue / red tiers, 10/12 for the white / yellow tiers. Coaches retire the paper logbook — the level-up history sits directly on each junior's athlete card.
Live statistics, squash vocabulary.
During the match a tap on the tracker buttons adds each shot to the player's profile — from your phone, courtside. The eight statistics follow the squash vocabulary: four primary attacking shots (winner, nick, drop, boast), two neutral (lob, stroke), and two penalties (tin, unforced error).
| Statistic | Impact | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Winner | +2 | Clear winner (drive, kill, unreturnable finish) |
| Nick | +2 | Ball dies on the floor-side-wall join — squash signature, unreturnable |
| Drop shot | +1.5 | Soft shot dying near the front wall before the back-court bounce |
| Boast | +1.5 | Side-wall winner — geometric attacking trick shot |
| Defensive lob | +0.5 | High recovery shot to neutralise an attack |
| Stroke (interference point) | +1 | Point awarded on opponent's interference — signals strong T-position |
| Tin (bottom-strip error) | −1.5 | Strike on the front-wall bottom strip — automatic loss of rally |
| Unforced error | −1.5 | Out of court, second bounce, not-up |
Why the nick deserves its own button
In most generic platforms, a nick is bucketed as an ordinary winner. Yet the nick — the ball that strikes precisely the corner where floor meets side wall and rolls flat — is squash's signature shot. Its frequency in a player's profile says something very specific: millimetric precision on attacking shots. Paak surfaces it as its own stat for this reason — the nick share of winners is one of the calculated profile metrics.
Conduct sanctions, four clear levels.
The WSF (World Squash Federation) rules define a progressive ladder of conduct sanctions — from warning to forfeit. Paak surfaces them in four clear levels with a differentiated rating impact.
| Level | Effect |
|---|---|
| Conduct Warning | First call to order. −0.5 rating impact |
| Conduct Stroke (point penalty) | Point awarded to opponent. −1.5 rating impact |
| Conduct Game (game penalty) | Game awarded to opponent. −3 rating impact |
| Conduct Match (disqualification) | Match forfeit. −5 rating impact, reserved for serious offences |
The licensee card, to FFsquash standards.
FFsquash licence number
Free-text field — the published format has not been confirmed at the regex level. We accept the value as it appears on the licence to avoid false rejections.
FFsquash ranking points
Numeric field. Enter the value communicated by your regional league. More precise than a truncated category name — and forward-compatible with future nomenclature changes.
Ranking category
Free-text field. We have intentionally not hard-coded a picklist until the 2025-26 nomenclature is confirmed by a partner club. Enter the exact label given by your league.
FFsquash age category
Official U-prefix structure: Mini-Squash (3-6 years), École de Jeunes (7-10), U11 / U13 / U15 / U17 / U19, Espoirs (-23), Senior, Vétérans (35+). Entry category for sanctioned FFsquash competitions.
Preferred variant
Squash 11 (PAR standard), Squash 57 (ex-Racketball, slower ball), or polyvalent. Helps allocate members to the right training sessions.
Playing style
Attacking, defensive, polyvalent, touch. Tactical input for match coaching and interclub team composition.
Playing hand & PSA ranking
Right, left, ambidextrous. PSA world ranking is optional, reserved for tour-level professional players.
Racket weight & fastest shot
Weight in grams (110-200; ultra-light 110-145 typical). Fastest shot speed in km/h captured by radar — useful for season-long physical assessments.
Championnats de France Interclubs.
Competitive team squash in France goes through the Championnats de France Interclubs (interclub league). Paak handles the teams entered by division, player selection from the licensee list, availability collection, and email call-ups with attendance confirmation.
- Team selection driven by ranking points and preferred variant
- Email call-ups with RSVP, automatic reminders
- Result entry post-fixture, fed back into individual profiles
- Live statistics captured during each match
Dedicated Interclubs match sheet: the generic functions (selection, call-ups, results) are operational today. A dedicated Interclubs entity (live shared match sheet, season history, promotion/relegation) is on the roadmap — a ticket will be opened as soon as an FFsquash club requests it.
Paak complements the federal channel.
FFsquash operates the federal channel: licences, national rankings, tournament homologation, national championships. Paak does not replace this channel — it handles everything outside it: the day-to-day life of the club.

What Paak adds
Members, fees, Mollie payments, honourability compliance (8 March 2024 law), live performance, communications, volunteers, sponsors, multi-sport.
No public FFsquash API as of today — like nearly every French federation outside FFTT. Rankings and licences sync via CSV export from the federal portal and import into Paak. One-way today (FFsquash → Paak), significant time saved — and a direct API connector will be wired the day the federation opens that channel.
French loi du 8 mars 2024 — tracked for you.
The French law of 8 March 2024 makes club presidents personally liable for the honorabilité (background-check status) of every coach, official and adult volunteer in regular contact with minors — in squash, this covers the head coach, assistants, mini-squash / Les Balles animators, club markers and any volunteer present at youth sessions or interclubs jeunes matches. Paak makes that tenable for a volunteer-run club.
- Status per coach — valid / expiring soon / expired
- Automatic reminders 30, 14 and 7 days before each attestation expires — email to the coach and notification to the president
- CSV export in the ministry SI Honorabilité / FIJAISV column order, one click
- FFsquash licence, classement and medical certificate on the same coach profile

Frequently asked questions
Does Paak support live squash scoring (PAR-11)?
Yes. The tracker captures eight squash-specific statistics: winner, nick, drop, boast (the four primary attacking shots), defensive lob and stroke (neutral), tin and unforced error (penalties). Best-of-5 format with rally-point scoring to 11 (PAR-11). No substitutions — it's one-on-one.
Are both Squash 11 and Squash 57 supported?
Yes. The licensee profile includes a preferred-variant field: Squash 11 (PAR standard, adult competition) or Squash 57 (formerly Racketball, slower ball, popular with juniors and veterans). Both share the same scoring engine today. If a club wants separate match sheets with distinct stats, Squash 57 is promoted to its own discipline.
Squash will be Olympic at LA 2028. How does Paak help clubs capitalise?
Squash was voted into the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic programme in October 2023 — the first Olympic squash. For French clubs, the 2025-2028 window opens a generational opportunity: youth recruitment, profile-raising for U11-U18 sections, communications towards local authorities and sponsors. Paak provides the cross-cutting tooling: segmented Brevo email campaigns, public registration form with club branding, age-progression tracking, exportable statistics for grant applications.
Does Paak handle FFsquash licences and rankings?
Yes for the structure: FFsquash licence number, ranking points (numeric field), FFsquash age category in U-prefix structure (Mini-Squash 3-6, École de Jeunes 7-10, U11/U13/U15/U17/U19, Espoirs -23, Senior, Vétérans 35+), and ranking category (free-text field). We have not hard-coded the exact 2025-26 classement labels because the published nomenclature has not been confirmed by an FFsquash partner club — the free-text field avoids blocking typos. We will switch to a picklist once a club confirms the exact list.
Is Paak suitable for FFsquash-affiliated clubs?
Yes. Paak manages the FFsquash licence, ranking points, honourability compliance for coaches (8 March 2024 law), membership fees, registration for the Championnats de France Interclubs, training and tournament scheduling, and federal coaching and refereeing diplomas. No public FFsquash API as of today: rankings and licences sync via CSV export from the federal portal.
