How to play Squash Game?

Squash is an indoor game played between two people in a box-like room. Here a squash which looks similar to the tennis racket but with a smaller diameter and a squash ball that is around two and a half inches is made of rubber.  There are five different speeds of squash ball from super slow to fast, which is generally set by the game  organisers. The ball is very very low bouncing, especially the super slow ones, which makes it tough for the player to return the ball.  Usually game starts with a super slow speed to a faster speed.  

There are many lines on a squash court. The first line is a borderline that runs across the top of the back wall and down the sides of the sidewall. Any ball going outside this area is deemed out and a point is given to your opponent. A board runs along the bottom of the back wall, which is the ‘net.’ If the ball hits the board, then it is deemed as foul. Three feet above the board is a service line. All serves must go farer this line for it to be a legitimate serve. The backcourt  is divided into  2  rectangular sections where a player must begin playing from the starting point of each point. A service box is available in each section, and the player is required to have at least one foot in this while they serve or while receiving a serve.
