Fun facts about Squash

Squash is one of the fastest and most exciting racket sports in the world — but did you know these fun facts?

1️⃣ The Ball Isn't Always the Same Squash balls come with different colored dots. Beginners use balls that bounce more, while professionals use double yellow dot balls with very low bounce.

2️⃣ It's Incredibly Fast The ball can travel at speeds over 200 km/h (124 mph). That makes squash one of the fastest indoor sports on the planet!

3️⃣ A Full-Body Workout In just one hour of play, you can burn between 600–1000 calories.

4️⃣ It Was Invented by Students Squash was invented in the 19th century at Harrow School in England when students modified an older game called rackets.

5️⃣ It's Played Worldwide Today squash is played in over 180 countries and continues growing rapidly.

At SQEasy Club, we believe squash isn't just a sport — it's an adrenaline experience.

History of Padel

Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world — but its story began quite simply.

Padel was invented in 1969 in Mexico by Enrique Corcuera. He modified his home tennis court by adding walls and creating a smaller playing area. The walls became part of the game — just like in squash.

The sport quickly spread to Spain and Argentina, where it became incredibly popular. Today, Spain has more padel courts than tennis courts!

Padel is typically played in doubles, making it highly social and fun. The smaller court and underhand serve make it easier for beginners to start playing quickly.

Now, padel is expanding across Europe, including Cyprus — and it's becoming a favorite sport for players of all ages.

At SQEasy Club, we're proud to be part of the padel revolution in Cyprus, offering world-class facilities and expert coaching for this exciting sport.

Why Squash Is One of the Healthiest Sports

Squash has consistently been ranked among the healthiest sports in the world — and for good reason.

🔥 High Calorie Burn A single session can burn more calories than running or cycling.

❤️ Cardiovascular Power Squash combines sprinting, quick direction changes, and endurance, improving heart health significantly.

🧠 Mental Sharpness You must constantly think, anticipate, and react — training your brain as much as your body.

💪 Full-Body Conditioning Legs, core, shoulders, arms — squash engages nearly every muscle group.

⚡ Stress Relief The fast pace and intense rallies are a perfect way to release stress after work.

If you're looking for a sport that challenges both body and mind — squash is hard to beat.
