Special Rules:

Eyewear is compulsory in doubles

The official squash ball is a single yellow dot. This warms up faster, bounces a bit higher and is easier to hit than a standard ball.

Players must call a ‘let' to avoid hitting their opponent. If you hit you opponent with the ball or racquet the point goes against you. A 'let' is a request for a referring decision.

Doubles - Team 1 player A serves. If the serving team loses the rally Team 2 player A serves. If they lose the rally then Team 1 player B serves and so on.

Finals will not be played in the first grading season (Summer). Finals will be played in subsequent Autumn, Winter and Spring seasons.
