Summary: Squash is a racquet sport that was formerly called squash racquets, a reference to the "squashable" soft ball used in the game. The game is played by two players (or four players for doubles) with standard rackets in a four-walled court with a small, hollow rubber ball. Squash is characterized as a high-impact exercise that can place strain on the joints. In the traditional scoring system, a point is scored only by the server when the receiver is unable to return the ball to the front wall before it has bounced twice. When the receiver wins the rally, they are awarded only the right to serve.

In order to be a successful squash player, the key is practicing many different shots with both the backhand and forehand, and repeating the motion to gain muscle memory. In this free video series, a squash instructor will teach you how to do a number of basic squash serving drills to practice your serves for a game. You'll learn how to hit lobs, backhands, forehands, overhead, and side-arms serves that travel short, wide, and deep. You'll also learn how to serve from the right and left side, how to serve into the body, and how to get back to the "T" after serving. With these squash techniques and drills, you'll be well prepared to approach a game situation with masterful serves.
