Bishops enters ten teams into the Western Province Schools League: six senior (U19) teams and usually four junior (U15) teams.
The 1st team plays in the WP Super League and also competes in two regular annual tournaments: the WBHS Stayers Festival in October and the St Andrews Bloemfontein event each February.
The Western Province representative teams are also well stocked with Bishops players each year.
Approximately every five to six years the Bishops squash team aims to tour – the most recent one being to the UK in 2010.
Vision
Bishops is one of the leading schools in South Africa as far as sport is concerned and our reputation for sporting excellence is world-wide. In keeping with the ethos of our school, we believe that sport plays a vital role in the development of young men. In particular, we believe that participation in a team sport enhances the educational experience. To this end, it is a school rule that all boys must play an official school sport during both summer and winter terms.

Coaching is handled primarily by teaching staff, but professional coaches assist top senior and junior players weekly. The standard is high and Bishops is often among the top schools in terms of performance.
Bishops boasts five squash courts dedicated solely to student use. This allows up to 100 boys to participate officially in squash each winter. Many play squash in addition to rugby or hockey, and this dual-sport approach is encouraged.
The Western Province Youth squash squad training sessions and tournaments are often held on the Bishops courts.
