Advantages: fun, a good workout, never gets boring

Disadvantages: deceptively physically demanding

squash is such an accessible sport to play. most rec centres have squash courts and squash clubs and its a really sociable work thing i find, just popping down on a friday after work with some workmates. in theory, given the size of a squash court, it doesnt sound a very demanding sport. however a typical 40 minute session burns more calories than all the other popular sports.
best to have a quick stretch before you play and take some water with you to keep hydrated. there is some debate as to how acceptable an overarm serve is in squash. most people serve underarm, i serve overarm and according to the rule books it is perfectly legal. for me, playing squash well is knowing how to create a balance between pure power and shot precision. with the court being so small your main aim is to get the ball as fair away from your opponent as possible. easier said than done! for anyone wanting a fun and sociable way of keeping fit then give it a try. its amazing how quickly you will grasp the basics

Summary: great socialble sport with great fitness benefits
