What Is Squash

Squash is a competitive sport in which the opponent uses a racket to hit each other's rebound balls on the wall in a court surrounded by walls according to certain rules.
Squash was developed by prisoners in London prisons in the early 19th century hitting the wall against the wall to exercise and adjust the atmosphere of prison life. It was later improved at Hallou School, which trains descendants of the British royal family. [2] Entering the 20th century, squash has gained widespread popularity, its techniques and tactics have also been innovated, and the International Squash Federation, the authoritative governing body of world squash, has been formally established. In 1998, squash was listed as an official event at the Bangkok Asian Games.
The highest organizing body of world squash is the World Squash Federation, which was established in 1967 and is responsible for managing the development of squash worldwide.
