Fives, is a ball game played as singles or doubles in a small court. Most forms of fives originated at English Public Schools, with two forms, Eton and Rugby Fives being played fairly extensively. Players use their hands to control the ball, but otherwise the sport has similarities with squash. Most courts are to still to be found in private schools, but one or two exist elsewhere, both in Britain and in other countries.
