Racketball
The game of Racketball, an ideal sport for all ages, is played between two players using a regulation racket and ball, on a court of standard dimensions (32 feet x 21 feet). This is an ideal game offering a mixture of aerobic exercise and local muscular endurance and according to some sports scientists, it is the least demanding/easiest to play of the popular racket sports.
This exciting game is growing rapidly in popularity at Abingdon Squash Club and a new Racketball Ladder is now in place. Racketball rackets can be borrowed from the bar on request.
A copy of the rules of the game can be obtained by visiting the Kent Squash & Racketball website (www.kentsquash.co.uk), however in brief, points can be scored by either player and a match shall consist of the best of 3 or 5 games at the option of the organisers of the competition.
British Racketball is currently establishing itself in many clubs and is also being played in Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Bermuda, France, The Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and other countries.
