Walking squash

Overview

Squash is widely regarded as one of the more strenuous sports and is not one generally associated with debutants, aged 60 and over, but that is exactly what the Squashed Egos programme sets out to achieve. The programme which uses modified rules to accommodate walking squash players is ideal for older adults wanting to remain active in later life and can even be played by some of those with long term health conditions. This is achieved by reducing the area of the court to be covered by participants, who play with a bouncier, red-spot squash ball.
