Squash

Squash is a competitive sport that uses rackets to hit each other's rebound balls hit on the wall in a field surrounded by walls according to certain rules.
Squash was developed by prisoners in London prison in the early 19th century who had nothing to do to hit the wall to exercise and regulate the atmosphere of prison life. Later, Harlow public school, which trained Royal descendants in Britain, was improved. In the 20th century, squash has been widely popularized, technical and tactical innovations have been made, and the international Squash Federation, the authoritative management organization of the world squash, has been officially established. In 1998, squash was listed as the official event of the Asian Games in Bangkok.
The highest organization of world squash is the World Squash Federation, which was established in 1967 to manage the development of squash around the world.
Squash originated from the "fleet prison" in Britain in the 19th century. At that time, in order to exercise and kill time, and because the prisoners in the cell met the needs of human game nature, they played a game of hitting small balls against the wall. It is said that this is the origin of squash. After the improvement of Harlow Royal public school in Britain, it developed into a "noble movement" reflecting the elegant temperament of the upper-class society. Moreover, some schools at that time could not meet the students' desire to play tennis because the venue was small, so they set up several walls on the playground for students to play tennis.
