Squash Safety

Due to the nature of the game of squash, injuries can occur. There are a few simple rules to follow to minimize the likelihood of incurring avoidable injuries.

1. Always wear googles! Wearing goggles can save you a trip to the hospital, and avoid lengthy recovery periods. These are available in most sport stores. Goggles are mandatory for all kids under the age of 18.

1. CLEAR after hitting your shot, allowing your opponent an open path to the ball.
2. Call a LET before swinging your racquet when there is interference. A LET ball is called when a player is obstructed when going for the ball, and the point is then started over. Always play on the side of CAUTION.
3. For full rules on LET, NO LET and STROKE, go to www.squash.ca/en/rules-game . Rules are also posted on the bulletin board by the squash courts.
4. Be CORTEOUS on court!
