What is RacketballRacketball


Racketball is the UK’s fastest growing sport.  Played on a squash court with very similar rules the main difference between the sports comes from the ball being bigger and much more bouncy. This makes it a lot harder to win a rally making racketball easy to learn but difficult to master

The Rules: The 10 points have been taken from England Squash and Racketball with added diagrams and notations.
