Squash is a high-intensity sport where players alternate in striking the ball with their rackets onto the playable surfaces of the four walls of the court. How do you win? You simply hit the ball such that the opponent is not able to return the shot. Do not underestimate the tiny, black ball! When hit with the right technique, it can reach unbelievable speeds of up to 280 km/h. (Fun fact: Squash is the only racket sport where the opponent stands next to you rather than opposite you!)

HEY! YOU!   

Ever wondered what it’s like to try a new team sport? Raffles Ultimate (RU) might just be the place for you!   

Ultimate is a non-contact, self-refereed team sport involving 7 players per team. Through communication and persistence, the team must work together to successfully pass the disc to a teammate in the end zone to score a point.   

The crux of Ultimate entails ‘Spirit of the Game’—a unique and defining element of the sport. It relies on respect and fair play of all teammates to make calls without the help of a referee. These underlying principles reinforce mutual respect and trust between opponents, communication and conflict resolution skills, and self-confidence – both on and off the field of play.
