Introduction

Q.What is Fivesonline?
A. It’s not about Eton Fives. It’s a tool to help players arrange and play Fives more easily.

Fivesonline is a new facility for all Eton Fives players and supporters. It aims to make previously ‘scattered’ information available to the entire Eton Fives community at the touch of a button and to enable new players to integrate with the rest of the community immediately.

It provides all you need to know about players, fixtures, clubs and venues, making it much easier to get involved, find and contact one another, publicise competitions and arrange appropriate venues. It provides club secretaries with an easy platform to review their membership and handle annual “housekeeping”.

This site is part of a broad strategy to provide useful tools and an annual structure within which clubs can more easily track and recruit ‘lost’ players and school leavers and so introduce them to adult Fives with the minimum of fuss. The New Ladder Competition is designed not only to provide excellent Fives for established players - but as the perfect format to get young players back on court enjoying the game. Please visit the Ladder section after you’ve registered to find out how it's played and why you should give it a try.

Lastly - this site is the result of over two years development and hard work, but will be a wasted effort if, through apathy, we fail to fill it with players and useful information. PLEASE encourage fellow players, your Master in Charge and - most importantly - your School Leavers to register! If you are involved in running a club or a venue get in touch with me and I will give you appropriate permissions to take control of the content of your own Club & Courts' pages, you can change them as and when you wish. Likewise, if you are responsible for a particular competition - I can give you direct control of the information published on the Fixture List.
