What exactly are junior squash rackets, anyway? I consider them to be any squash racket shorter than the standard adult racket length of 27 inches. Generally, junior squash rackets are used by young children as they are learning the game. A shorter racket is just a little easier to operate.

At some point, juniors will graduate to a full-size adult squash racket. There’s no set age for this, it just happens whenever the player feels more comfortable with a full-sized racket. As a rough guideline, that transition will occur between 8 and 11 years old.
