Introduction
Squash may not always dominate sports headlines, but among those who play and follow it, squash is known as one of the fastest, most challenging, and most strategic racket sports in the world. Played inside a four-walled court with lightning-quick reflexes, squash blends the endurance of marathon running with the precision of chess.
The sport was born in 19th-century England and quickly spread to schools, clubs, and colonies across the globe. Today, squash is thriving in countries like Egypt, England, Pakistan, India, Australia, and the United States. It remains a favorite among students in elite prep schools and universities, but it is also widely played in recreation centers and fitness clubs worldwide.
