Introduction to Squash Sportisys 00:03

Sorry for the delay guys, been very busy lately. So here is the promised introduction to squash.
Squash is a racquet sport played by 2 people in a 6.4m x 9.75m court surrounded by 4 walls. The idea of the sport is for the two players to alternatively hit the ball with their racquets onto the playable surfaces on the wall before the ball bounces twice on the floor. The equipment used in squash is different from those in other racquet sports.

The squash racquet are more narrow, slender, long and light compared to those of a tennis racquet.

While the squash ball is a small rubber ball with a hollow center. There are different grading for the balls ranging from balls for beginners to those used in competitive levels.

In terms of how it is played every point starts with a serve from a player. The server must serve with at least one foot within the service box and hit the ball to the front wall above the service line while still keeping within the boundary lines. After a serve play commences.

After serve the 2 players aims to alternatively hit the ball within the boundary lines onto any wall they want as long as it touches the front wall before it touches the ground. The ball hitting the wall outside of the boundary lines is considered out and the point is awarded to the opponent of the person who strikes that ball. The ball is only allowed to strike the floor once before the other player hits the ball again and this process repeats. If the ball bounces twice however the opponents is award the point. After point is awarded the play ends, the winner of the point serves and the process repeats again. The first person to get to 11 points wins, with the winner must having at least a 2 point lead.  That's all for today. I'll have another post somewhere this week to make up for last week.
