The game originated in Melbourne in 1981. It is a team game - normally four per side although any number from three to six may successfully play. Opposing teams play a ball across a net strung halfway down a standard sized squash court 32’ x 21’ - somewhat after the style of volleyball. Some of the main rules

Rules  -

The ball may only be hit with the face of the open hand - no fists or wrists! Side walls, ceiling and net supports are out!

The ball is “soft” inflated.

The back wall is “in” below the red line - except to the server. Because of the height difference (1 foot) between these 2 lines on each “back” wall, teams should change ends after each game.

1. Teams of 3, 4, 5, or 6 or more players hitting a ball across a net, strung half way down a squash court, net 8’ from the floor, unattached at bottom.

2. The object of the game is to “ground” the ball in opponents’ court or force opponents into error. Each team is allowed 3 “touches” before returning the ball over the net. Players must not hit the ball consecutively.

3. The ball must not be thrown or held but must be hit cleanly with the face of the open hand., Closed fist or wrist NOT ALLOWED. SERVICE

4. The server stands in back right hand corner within an imaginary 1 metre square and has one serve (a clenched fist may be used) which must clear the net and NOT TOUCH THE BACK WALL ON THE FULL. Team members take it in turns to serve, rotating one place clockwise when service is lost. If the ball touches net tape on service and bounces in opponents court, a let shall be played.

5. Ceiling, side walls and net supports are out. PLAYERS MUST NOT TOUCH NET OR NET SUPPORTS. Back wall below red line is in (except to server) no feet on walls. SCORING 6. The game is scored to 15. Only the serving team can win a point. If serving team hits out or fouls, the service changes to the other side.

9. Player may have any part of his body over or under the net but NOT TOUCHING THE NET or interfering with an opposing player.

10. Ball must only make contact with open face or hand. Body contact elsewhere constitutes a foul (except blocking - see Rule 11).

11. BLOCKING. A player may “block” the ball by using the forearm(s) - elbow to wrist - when within 1 metre of net. In so doing blocker must not move arms in forward motion (ie., not strike at ball). Block counts as a touch.

12. BALL. To be volley ball type 8.1/4-8.1/2” diameter - soft inflated. When ball is dropped from height of 7’ onto a wooden floor it rebounds between 40” and 44”.

IMPROVE YOUR GAME

1. TEAM POSITIONS.

Except for serving, players may take up any preferred court position, thus taller ones should tend towards the net - smaller ones “scout” at the back. Ensure that all your court is covered - DON’T BUNCH UP - DON’T COMPETE FOR THE BALL

2. Unless the opposing side is in disarray, use all 3 “touches” your side of the net to set the ball for your best possible offensive shot. Pass high, pass accurately, play the team.

3. SMASHING - Play offensively by returning the ball hard and downwards. To do this height is necessary.

4. BLOCKING - This is a major way of defending the smash. To block effectively, player must have both arms extended fully above net and within 1 metre of net ...the closer to the net the better to avoid spin offs to your floor or side wall.

5. BACK COURT PLAY. Below the red line is in! It is difficult to defend a fast offensive thrust which strikes your back wall - BUT IT IS POSSIBLE. Get under the ball. Expect back up from your team mates when in this position for it is difficult to give much direction to the ball which you have just “saved”.

6. Practise deception - aim for their gaps.

7. Vary the speed of your shots. The well aimed lob or drop can be just as effective as the hard thumped spike!

. Marker (a) To call and record score. (b) To call play. Referee (a) To answer appeals against Marker’s decisions. (b) To over-ride Marker at any stage. (c) Referee’s decision is final. (d) Where only one official available, he/she will assist both Marker and Referee duties. Guide: Marking and Refereeing should occur on court - opposite net. Accurate decisions are sometimes very difficult to determine ... CALL A ‘LET’.
