As from summer 2009, Riccione will host various international squash tournaments and training courses for young people and children who can stay at local hotels specialized in accommodating sportspeople and trainers. Do not miss out on the fantastic variety of lively events starting this summer at the sea resort!
Squash is a “recent” sport that was invented in 19th century England but did not catch on in Italy until the mid 20th century, when the Italian championships were quick to take off.
Squash is played using a racket a bit smaller than an ordinary tennis racket. The ball is made of rubber and contains a small amount of water which heats up during play and thereby increases the speed of the ball. To practise this sport you need to wear light and very comfortable clothes and shoes that must not mark the court in any way.
