Racquetball was invented by an American named Joe Sobek in 1950, who based the rules on a combination of three older sports, namely squash (going back to 12th-century France), handball and paddleball. He initialy called the sport "paddle rackets" until a professional tennis player by the name of Bob McInerney coined the term racquetball. A variant known as racketball was developed in England in 1976, with slightly different rules.
