About Racketball

Racketball is played on a conventional squash court using similar rules to that of squash. The difference is that a larger, faster ball is used with a slightly shorter racket. This means players have a longer opportunity to get to and hit the ball, which in turn means longer rallies. The added benefit is that injuries to players are far less common, and generally players can carry on playing racketball much later in life than they may have done with squash.

Racketball is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK, enjoyed by hundreds of players in Hampshire — some who play squash as well, but also those dedicated solely to the game. It can also appeal to non-squash players who may be starting up having only played tennis or badminton; tennis players in particular are able to adapt to racketball very quickly.

Squash clubs are now benefiting from the growth in racketball, which will no doubt help secure the future of many clubs. If you haven't tried the bigger ball yet, what are you waiting for?
