Europe is the bitrht place of squash
Europe is the birth place of squash. The game is played between two players in a three glass- walled court with a tough rubber ball which bounces when it is made hot by hitting it continuously with a help of a racquet. In Europe squash was formerly known as the “squash racquets” game. It was developed from 5 other sports including small rubber balls and racquets in France during the early 1500’s.The main theme behind the game was to hit the ball against the wall, just for entertainment. Various founding’s in France developed games that were similar to squash. Some people even used gloves to hit the ball against a fish net. The game took it peak when the” game of racquets” was further developed in England’s prison (for the debtors),

 

 

 

it was similar to having a rubber ball as in tennis, rather putting the ball across a net they used to smash it against a wall of concrete, the hotter the ball the hotter the more bounce it had and one of the major differences between squash and tennis was the size of the balls used it the respective games.

 

 

 

There were many controversies against the sport but in 1923 a squash rackets association was formed in Great Britain with its specific rules and regulation in order to protect the sport. The sport expanded and was adopted globally.
