Squash basics
Squash is played on an enclosed court 9.75m × 6.4m with four playable walls (front, two side walls, and back wall). The front wall has three horizontal lines marking the out line (top), service line, and tin (bottom — any ball hitting the tin is out). Games are played to 11 points using rally scoring (any player scores on any rally, regardless of who served). Matches are best of 5 games. The ball must hit the front wall on every shot; it can use the side and back walls in any order.

What do the different squash ball dots mean?
Squash balls are colour-coded by speed: double yellow dot (extra slow, used by advanced and professional players — requires significant warm-up to become bouncy), single yellow dot (slow, for intermediate players), red dot (medium, for beginners and junior players in cold conditions), blue dot (fast, for absolute beginners or young juniors). The double yellow dot is the tournament standard — it barely bounces when cold, so competitive players always warm the ball up before play.
What is a ghost drill in squash?
A ghost drill (or ghosting) is a solo fitness drill where a player moves to each of the four corners of the court in a set pattern without hitting a ball, simulating match movement. It develops court coverage, footwork patterns, and squash-specific fitness. A common pattern: T-position → front forehand corner → T → front backhand corner → T → back forehand corner → T → back backhand corner, repeated for timed sets. The ghost drill timer handles the work/rest intervals automatically.
How many calories does squash burn per hour?
Squash is one of the highest-calorie-burn sports available. A 75kg player burns approximately 600–900 calories per hour in competitive singles — more than most other racket sports because the enclosed court and fast ball require near-continuous high-intensity movement with very few natural rest periods. Recreational doubles squash burns approximately 400–500 calories per hour.
