Basic Squash Tactics & Fundamentals

posted on

[Updated on 1 July 2022] You’ve played squash for a while now and you’ve worked hard to be faster and stronger. But for whatever reason you still just can’t beat an opponent who seems to be in worse physical condition than you. The tactics and strategy may be the difference. Playing squash to outsmart your opponent helps win a rally against faster and stronger players even at a high paced game.

As a beginner, I used to play the rally to return the ball and hope that my opponent would miss the shot. I would think that since the game is fast paced, there is a slim chance of coming up with a game plan to win the rally, because I wanted to overpower my opponent. After a while I learned the fundamental tactics to take command of the game and put myself in an offensive position to have a higher chance of winning a rally.
