Why Has Squash Conquered the World?
Did you know that squash is one of the fastest and most intense racket sports in the world? A game now associated with a modern lifestyle actually dates back to the 19th century!
A Brief History of Squash
- Origins in England – squash was born in elite British schools (e.g. Harrow School) around 1830, when students noticed the ball 'squashed' against the wall – hence the name.
- Sport development – over time, squash gained popularity in sports clubs worldwide, especially in English-speaking countries.
- International recognition – in the 20th century, the first federations emerged (e.g. World Squash Federation), and squash became a professional sport.
- Small space, big action – squash courts are compact, but the pace and intensity are extremely high.
- Perfect for busy people – an efficient workout after work, 30 minutes is enough to really sweat!
- Accessibility – easy to learn at an amateur level, but also rich in tactical depth.
- Squash in numbers (for fun fact lovers): Over 20 million players worldwide. In a professional match, players may run up to 5 km in 45 minutes. The squash ball can reach speeds up to 270 km/h!
