What is Racquetball?

Racquetball is a fun, fast-paced racquet sport that combines elements of both squash and tennis while remaining easy to learn and accessible for players of all ages and abilities.

Played on a standard squash court, racquetball uses a larger, bouncier ball and a specially designed racquet, making the game easier to pick up and enjoy. The larger ball creates longer rallies, giving players more opportunities to hit the ball and stay involved in the action.

Racquetball can be played as singles, doubles or mixed doubles, making it a great social sport as well as a competitive one. It is suitable for beginners, experienced players, juniors and masters alike.

As a fantastic indoor fitness activity, racquetball helps improve hand-eye coordination, movement, reflexes and cardiovascular fitness, all while providing a fun and welcoming environment on court.

Whether you're a current squash player looking for something different or completely new to racquet sports, racquetball is a great way to get active, meet new people and enjoy the game.
