Mini squash .....What is mini squash?
It is for encouraging children to have fun on a squash court.AND
Play at home or at school
It came into being because squash went out of fashion, so much so that squash courts were being sold and used for other purposes.
The Squash Association itself losing considerable income and in danger of collapse.
Fortunately funds were being given by the Sports Council to various sports for the task of increasing the numbers taking up Sport.
Faced with this task the Squash Association decided to copy the LTA’s new scheme of ‘minitennis,(balls developed by J Price) for encouraging the very young to take up playing the game.... Before the age other activities became more attractive.
J Price was asked if they would develop balls. We said YES with the proviso that the balls had to be two colour to make them as attractive as possible to children. Overcoming all resistance to this condition PRICE decided to proceed and ‘minisquash’ came into being .
The Squash Association testing balls under development for many months, requesting changes until they had the balls that coaches said was needed
The balls were approved and became the Official balls
Christened ‘Fundation’ for the beginner Red, ‘Improver’ for the Orange next stage and ‘Pro’ for the Green stage. When players then moved onto a regular squash balls.
Distribution was arranged via Ransomes Sports. This continued for several years
They still do distribute but we also sell direct to consumers
The balls being soft are also highly suitable for children to just play with and have fun
