Get fit
to play squash! Squash is one of the most physically demanding
sports in the world. Jogging, running, rope-jumping, and light
weight-lifting are all good cross-training activities for
squash. Also, when you hit your return, you should hit it
along the side wall at least nine out of ten times because
it is the safest possible shot, with the highest likelihood
of success. If you return the ball cross-court back to the
server, they get an easy shot without even having to move.
And you will very likely have a long way to run! The side
wall return (also called a 'rail return') should be your standard
serve return.

About Squash
Yukon
Squash Yukon is the official
sports governing body for squash and its players in the Yukon and
is mandated to promote the growth and development of the sport.
The Squash Yukon Executive,
a volunteer board comprised of seven members, works to develop and
implement programs and policies aimed at promoting an environment
in which players can enjoy the sport of squash and ensure its continued
growth in the Yukon. Squash Yukon promotes the participation in
squash through the sponsoring or sanctioning of a number of tournaments
each year. The aim of this is to provide players with an opportunity
to play with both local and visiting players in a friendly but competitive
environment. It is hoped that these events help players evaluate
their development and introduce players to new opponents.
