Racketball · All Ages, All Abilities
Faster To Learn. Just As Addictive.
Racketball is one of the fastest-growing racket sports in the county — a bigger ball, a shorter learning curve, and all the same court-side buzz as squash. Whether you're brand new to racket sports or coming back after a break, there's a game here for you.
What Is Racketball
Squash's Faster-To-Pick-Up Cousin
Racketball is played on a standard squash court, with a shorter racket and a larger, bouncier ball. The bigger ball and simpler scoring make rallies easier to build from day one, which is a big part of why the sport has grown so quickly in recent years.
- Played on the same courts as squash — no extra facilities needed
- A shorter, more forgiving learning curve than squash
- Popular with players moving between sports, or picking up a racket for the first time
