What is Squash?

Squash is an indoor racquet sport that was formerly called "Squash racquets," a reference to the "squashable" soft ball used in the game. The game is played by two players (singles) or four players (doubles). The game is played in a four-walled court, with rackets, and a small hollow rubber ball.

A full cardiovascular workout; squash is a fast paced sport, requiring speed, skill, and agility.

Squash games are usually played to 9 points. However the receiver may opt to call 'set two' and play to 10 when the score first reaches 8-8. Competition matches are usually played to 'best-of-five' i.e. the player to win the most out of 5 games.
