Squash Court

Squash is a racket and ball sport played in a four-walled enclosed court with a small hollow rubber ball. Three sides are covered with a wall, and the front is glass for entry and spectators’ views. It can be played solo or doubles style (with two players on each team). In order to score, you must prevent your opponent from striking the ball before it hits the ground twice.
