Squash
Squash Stars, opens in a new tab. Adapted for the school setting, Squash Stars in Schools introduces school aged children in years 3 - 6 to the fundamental and physical elements of squash in a fun and inclusive setting.
Squash 57, opens in a new tab. Squash 57 (formerly known as racketball) uses bigger rackets and a bigger, bouncier ball. The bounce means there’s time to get to the ball, a great way to keep playing squash for longer or as an introduction to squash.
Masters, opens in a new tab. The Australian Masters Squash Association (AMSA) promotes and encourages the game of squash for players aged 35 years and over. It provides an opportunity for people who still enjoy playing squash to play against mature age people in a more social but still competitive environment.
Wheelchair Squash, opens in a new tab. Is a fast paced, fun and engaging activity. Upon trials at the National Squash Centre, we experimented with the types of racquets and balls used. The players found that normal length racquets were best for reach, but opted for a racquetball style ball with higher bounce. They also adapted to allow two bounces per rally similar to wheelchair tennis.
Squash for the hearing impaired, opens in a new tab. Has no major differences in regard to the physical game play. The main difference is in the scoring with scorers using flip boards to display the score or signing the numbers to the players.
