Racquetball and Squash, what is the difference?

★ &

c u lt u r e

Court Sports

c a m p b e l l r i v e r r e c r e at i o n

Racquetball and squash are 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 basically volleyball played in a racquetball court, and the walls are used to bounce and strategically place the ball.

Adult Beginner Squash Lessons See page 65 for details

Court Rentals

Courts are available for 45-minute rentals.
