Discover Squash57: The Friendliest Game You’ve Never Played

Whether you’re a lifelong squash player, a pickleball fan, a student looking for something new, or simply someone over 50 who still loves to move, Squash57 is a game that brings everyone together.

Played on a squash court with a bigger racquet and a bouncier ball, it’s easier to pick up, easier on the body, and every bit as rewarding to play.

Squash57 combines the strategy of squash with the fun, fast-paced energy that makes pickleball so popular — all in an indoor, year-round format that keeps you active, connected, and smiling.

A Sport That Welcomes Everyone

“It’s very easy to pick up. We’ve got a really big bouncy ball, it’s a big racquet, and it makes the game great for people who maybe have never played racquet sports before.”

That’s what makes Squash57 special — accessibility.

The larger racquet and livelier ball make rallies longer, movement smoother, and success immediate.

• For youth and families: It’s a safe, skill-building way for kids and teens to learn court movement, teamwork, and hand-eye coordination.

• For adults 50+: It keeps you active and social without the pounding impact of traditional squash or high-intensity sports.

  
  

From teens to retirees, everyone can share the court — often in the same rally.

For Current Squash Players

Squash57 isn’t replacing your game — it’s enhancing it.

The bouncier ball and longer rallies help develop precision, timing, and consistency, while reducing wear and tear on your body.

Many players add Squash57 sessions to their weekly mix to stay sharp and fit between competitive matches.

For Retired or Semi-Retired Squash and Tennis Players

If you’ve stepped away from squash because of your knees, hips, or shoulders, Squash57 is your invitation back.

“It’s less severe on your joints and because the ball is a little bouncier, it gives you an opportunity to play different levels and have a good game.”

This version lets you enjoy the same strategy, competition, and satisfaction of squash — without the physical strain. It’s not a slower version; it’s a sustainable evolution of the sport you love.

For many players in their 50s, 60s, and 70s, Squash57 offers a way to keep playing for decades longer.

For Pickleball Players and Newcomers

Pickleball players often recognize the spirit of Squash57 right away — friendly rallies, quick reactions, laughter between points, and plenty of social connection.

It’s the perfect indoor complement to your outdoor season and builds transferable coordination and reflexes.

For those new to any racquet sport, Squash57 is simple to start and fun from the first game.

Fun, Fitness, and Community

“You’ll definitely catch the bug as soon as you start playing. Join your local club and see if there are some group sessions — there’ll be a beginners group, and have a go.”

That enthusiasm says it all. Squash57 isn’t just exercise — it’s a shared experience.

You’ll find players of all ages mixing on court, laughing between rallies, and cheering each other on. It’s active living with a community feel.
