HOW TO PLAY SQUASH

Squash is a game played on an indoor court, to play all you need is a racket, a ball, indoor trainers and some comfortable sports clothing.

The basic principle of squash is to keep hitting the ball against the front wall until your opponent cannot successfully get it back – either by the ball bouncing twice on the floor, or them hitting the ball out of play.
