Rackets

description Rackets Overview

Rackets is an English indoor racquet sport that developed in the eighteenth century in London debtors’ prisons, including the King’s Bench and the Fleet. Players adapted the hand-played game of fives by using tennis racquets to strike a ball against a wall, creating a fast game on a four-wall court. Rackets is historically important because it helped lead to squash and belongs to the same family of enclosed-court ball sports.
