Squash

[mikebird]

Anyone want a game?

It's a good way to release frustration. My priority is not winning. I want someone to smash a ball into a wall with, and some competition too; just a laugh.

I recently saw a tournament with male & female games, so it's OK to play with anyone.

Anyone live nearby?

Sorry I can't play a game with you as I am not in the UK :/

I used to play squash quite a bit! It is a good high stamina sport; releases lots of stress!!

If people haven't tried it already they definitely should

Is that also known as raquets or rackets? I heard of something at school, using two raquets? Never seen or played!

Is it like badminton? or tennis?

racquetball is kind of like a cross between squash and handball

played on handball courts with short racquets - smaller than squash racquets

very fast-paced - it's a great work-out

^it's hyper tennis with thin tiny rackets, and severe injuries afterwards, great fun!!

Can you think of ONE any other sport that doesn't get onto TV?

Maybe polo.
