Squash & Racketball Books from myfoodcount.com
Squash is an indoor racquet sport which was, formerly, called "Squash Rackets", a reference to the 'squashable' soft ball used in the game (compared with the harder ball used in its parent game Racquets or Rackets).
The game is played by two players (or occasionally four players for doubles) with 'standard' rackets in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball.
Squash historians assert that the game originated in the 19th century at the Harrow School, just outside London in England, as a derivative of the game of Racquets. The first recorded construction of purpose-built squash courts was at Harrow in the 1860s. It is possible that earlier squash courts were created at Harrow by sub-dividing a racquets court, which is almost exactly the size of three Squash courts (to allow more players on the courts at the same time).
