History of Squash
130 years of squash

Squash was invented in Harrow school around 1830, when the pupils discovered that a punctured Rackets ball, which "squashed" on impact with the wall, produced a game with a greater variety of shots and required much more effort on the part of the players, who could not simply wait for the ball to bounce back to them as with Rackets. The variant proved popular and in 1864 the first four Squash courts were constructed at the school and Squash was officially founded as a sport in its own right.
In those early days Squash, as with all other sports, was without any form of international standardisation and it was inevitable that slight variations in the way it was played, and the equipment used, would occur. Luckily only two main streams of activity followed, one in England with its 21 feet wide courts and "soft" ball and the other in North America, with its 18.5 feet wide courts and "hard" ball and with both courts having the same length of 32 feet the universality of Squash was not seriously challenged. We will look at these two branches separately and also at the way in which Squash spread to almost every nation in the world 130 years of squash - Early days in England EARLY DAYS IN ENGLAND
The first recorded reference to "Squash", other than in Harrow school, appeared in 1890 in the English book "The Badminton Library of Sports and Pastimes" written by the Duke of Beaufort. Eustace Miles, a world champion at both Tennis and Rackets, wrote the first book on Squash in 1901, stating that the sport was enjoyed by thousands of players in various parts of the world. By that time there were courts in schools and universities in England and some also in private houses. The first professional Squash Championship was held in 1920 in England, when C.R. Read (Queens Club) beat A.W.B. Johnson (RAC Club).

The History of Squash
130 Years of World Squash
By the WSF's Ted Wallbutton
For over 1000 years man has invented and enjoyed a variety of games played by hitting
a ball with either a closed fist - as in "fives" or "bunch of fingers" - or with some form of
bat or racket. Around the year 1148 the French played "le Paume", meaning "the palm
of the hand", which developed into Jeu de Paume, Real Tennis, Royal Tennis or, if you
play the sport, simply Tennis. At sometime in the early 19th century this obsession with
rackets and balls spawned another variety of the sport in the unlikely birthplace of the
Fleet Prison in London. The prisoners in "The Fleet", mainly debtors, took their exercise
by hitting a ball against walls, of which there were many, with rackets and so started the game of "Rackets". Rackets progressed, by some strange route, to Harrow and other select English schools about 1820 and it was from this source that our own sport of Squash, or Squash Rackets, developed.

Athletic History
Mercersburg’s impressive athletic tradition had humble beginnings. In the 1860s, the Mercersburg College catalog mentioned a baseball club "governed by proper rules so that in their amusements the members are preserved from all rudeness and immorality." And the gymnasium consisted of nothing more than one horizontal bar. Certainly there were occasional wrestling matches, snowball fights, ice skating, hikes up the nearby hills, and splashing wars in the Conococheague Creek, but all these activities were informal. In 1912, the Nolde Gymnasium opened with additional facilities and by 1925 four of Princeton University’s varsity captains were Mercersburg graduates and many other Mercersburg athletes bolstered universities’ teams as well. Mercersburg was known as an athletic school, regardless of its undeniable prowess in academics. One of the School’s earliest athletic cheers was "Mercersburg or bust, Mercersburg or bust, Mercersburg College, Win we must!"

Profile HISTORY
Racquetball was invented by Joe Sobek in 1949 on a Connecticut handball court. Seeking a game with fast pace that was easy to learn, Sobek designed the first short strung paddle, devised rules combining the basics of handball and squash, and named his modification "paddle rackets." His experiment was an overnight success, the sport caught on quickly and has since evolved into racquetball as we know it today. By the early 70's, court clubs could be found in every state and the sport enjoyed a rapid and steady rise in popularity. As Americans sought new and challenging athletic activities, the timing was perfect for racquetball courts were accessible nationwide and the sport was fun and easy to learn. The late 70's and early 80's saw racquetball become one of the fastest growing sports in America as thousands of new racquetball courts were built to satisfy the demand. But the sport saturated the market and reached its peak in the mid-80's, when many clubs either closed their doors or began converting courts to other uses. But by 1987 the decline leveled off and racquetball regained a steady, manageable growth rate.
