RACQUETBALL

Malvern Squash are introducing Racquetball to Darfield, starting with a ladies night on Thursday, May 4th, at the Malvern Squash Courts at the Recreation Centre. The key difference between Squash and Racquetball is Squash uses a narrower, longer racket to hit a smaller, slower ball inside the lines of the court. Racquetball uses a shorter, wider racket to hit a larger, bouncier ball around a far bigger court. So ladies, why not get your friends together and head along to try a new sport that’s very easy to play and playable by all fitness levels, $5 per night.

To register private message their Facebook page: Malvern Squash Club, Darfield.
