Training Games
Forehand Tramlines
This is one of the best games to play, with the ball easily binding on the side wall it is not as easy as it seems,the small target area will teach you patients and control and the value of the ball being on the side wall.
Serve down the wall from the front yellow area
You cannot win a point on the serve
Every shot must land in the Yellow target zone or the point is lost
As there are no lines the striker should only stop the rally if they are sure the ball is out
If the ball was out and played the rally continues
Any disputes result in a "Let"
"Strokes" are almost non existent as the front wall hitting area is so small making it easy to clear
Hit as hard as you like
All other rules of Squash apply
Every rally scores one point
First to 11 wins
Use Training Games to learn not just to win
You will find yourself continually in the same position, experiment annd evaluate the outcome, as this is in a competitive situation your potential to improve your stroke play rather than your fitness is amplified.
Be patient, don't go for too much
Control is much better than power
Hit from a balanced position with full body control
Have a clear understanding of your Targets
Sometimes the easiest way to win is to cut out errors
Learn about shot selection - choose which balls to attack off
Respect your opponents quality shots by not attacking them but driving to target
Be agressive with control on loose shots
Have fun
