A word about the various illustrations showing the squash tennis court
and various shots: The solid * is you and your position and the O is
your opponent's. The direction of flight of the ball is indicated by
arrows and the "x" indicates when and where the ball bounces on the
floor. "F" indicates forehand, "B" backhand, and the "S" is the service.
In all descriptions it is assumed the player is right-handed.

WHO CAN PLAY?

Anyone who enjoys playing Tennis, Squash Racquets, Platform Tennis, or
any racquet game and has good reflexes will love Squash Tennis.

age of the ranking players today is around 43!

In addition, the promising, young (10 to 13 year old) Lawn Tennis

Lawn Tennis equipment.

Finally, everyone and/or any club that presently possesses Squash courts
