I think that the first few months to a year of you starting, your game improves so fast you'll think you're going to become the best player in the world!

 

I started when I was about 14, and played once or twice a week. As long as you are shown properly from the start the correct grips, stances, swings etc so you don't get into any bad habits from the start, I think it's quite easy to learn.

nazurah - the main things in this game:

•  Is to be able to hit a ball - and if you have played hockey, baseball, tennis, table tennis, golf your level of hand eye co-ordination should be fine.
• If you are fit - that would be a bonus, otherwise take it easy to start with.
• Read the Squash Safety section listed in the Squash Library before you get serious.

Squash has lots going for it, eg all weather, indoors, only takes an hour for a workout, and all your bad shots come back (stay within the court).

Why not? Enjoy!
