Squash

Squash is a racquet sport played by two (singles) or four players (doubles) in a four-walled court. The players alternately hit a small rubber ball against the front wall using a racquet. Points are scored when the opponent fails to return the ball correctly. The game is known for its fast pace and high level of physical exertion.

Squash requires speed, agility, strength, and strategic play, making it a highly competitive and physically demanding sport.

Singles Squash

• Fast-Paced Duel: Two players compete against each other. The objective is to make the opponent unable to return the ball in accordance with the rules.

Doubles Squash

• Teamwork and Strategy: Four players (two teams of two) compete against each other. This version requires more strategic play and coordination between team members.

Hardball Squash

• Speed and Precision: This is a North American variant of squash played with a harder ball and on a larger court. The game is faster and requires more precision.

Squash 57 (formerly Racketball)

• Beginner Friendly: Played with a larger ball and a shorter racket, Squash 57 is slower and considered easier to pick up for beginners. However, it still offers a good level of physical exercise.

Juniors Squash

• Youth Development: This category focuses on the development of young players. There are specific rules and equipment tailored to the age and skill level of the players.
