Squash

Squash is a racquet and ball sport played by two (singles) or four players (doubles) within a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. About 20 million people play Squash in over 185 countries. The governing body of Squash, the World Squash Federation (WSF), is recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
