Squash is a game played in a court with four walls between two players. Each player holds a racquet to strike a ball against the front wall. The players take turns hitting the ball and need to move around each other to retrieve the ball before it bounces twice. In order to make a "fair" return, a player must hit the ball to the front wall on the fly. The ball may strike the side or back walls at any time in the course of a shot, as long as the ball hits the front wall on the fly without touching any area outside the boundary of the court.
