Squash & Racketball

Squash provides an excellent cardiovascular workout. In one hour of squash, a player may expend approximately 700 to 1000 calories which is significantly more than most other sports and over 70% more than general tennis. The sport also provides a good upper and lower body workout by utilising both the legs to run around the court and the arms/torso to swing the racquet.

The game is played by two players (or four players for doubles) with standard rackets in a four-walled court with a small hollow rubber ball. The scoring system is easy to learn.

We have lots of Squash Courts in clubs and Leisure Centres throughout the county, and this is a sport for all ages and abilities.

England Squash is responsible for the organisation and promotion of squash in England. It comprises 38 County Associations. Approx 1000 clubs and individual and player members.
