Introduction:
This game had a begin with the creation of a game that
was created from Le Paume, a French game that about
to hit the ball with his hand against a wall. But it was in
the early nineteenth century when the obsession with
rackets and balls originated this sport in the Fleet Prison
in London.
These prisoners hitting a ball against many walls
thereby creating Rackets game. In 1820 the Raquets
came to English schools in Harrow and that's where the
Squash born.
From this, the Squash was created by 1830 at the
school.
Students discovered a punctured Rackets ball and
flatten against the wall with great impact, a game with a
greater variety of shots and much physical exertion
occurred. Whereupon, the variants that were seen in the
Squash had a massive approval and in 1864 was
declared Squash sport while 4 courts were built.
