Racquetball and squash are both racquet sports played indoors in closed courts. Both sports require agility, speed, coordination, and quick movements; and can be played by singles or doubles. How they differ is their rules, court size, and equipment. Squash balls are smaller than racquetballs, and squash racquets are longer than racquetball racquets.

What is Wallyball? This sport adds a whole new dimension to the game of Volleyball. Wallyball is volleyball played in a racquetball court. How it differs from volleyball is the court is smaller, and walls are used to bounce and strategically place the ball.
