Currently I am in Australia For A Few Weeks on My Annual Trek Back. More Than Likely I will Be Somewhere On This Beach. It Is A Tough Life Out There. Go To Squash Tips and News To Read About Life Down Under.
During this rally, hopefully you will be able to hit a couple of killshots, learn a few new winners, and boast about it to all your friends afterward. As for me, I will try to pass on some of my knowledge, share a few funny stories - which I hope you will reciprocate - and hopefully give you some great deals on all your squash stuff.
And to all the EZ Squash Ball users welcome to a fantastic game !!

I think that statement says it all. Growing up in the sports mad country of Australia, I was your typical 9 year old kid who tried just about every sport around: cricket, rugby, swimming, running, tennis, badminton, baseball, golf, surfing and, of course, soccer to name but a few. They were all great sports, but to me they all seemed to have their limitations.
The game is so versatile. Just recently I ran a little Saturday tournament and in the lower division the ages and gender of the players consisted of: a junior girl 10 years old; 2 junior boys, one 10 and one 14; a woman 65; and 2 men, one 65 and one 70. The beauty of it all is that the 70 year old won the division. Age doesn’t matter.
It’s a cross-cultural sport, too. In the next division there was a Chilean, 2 Canadians, a South African, a Frenchman, a Mexican, an Englishman, an Australian, and an American. You don’t have to be a certain shape or size to play either. Tall, short, thin, round, this truly is a game where you can’t judge a book by its cover. I have certainly lost a few matches doing that and learned a good lesson from it.
Being such an international game has its advantages, as well. I have played in many countries around the world and have found it to be a very social game. Take along your squash racquet no matter where you go, and you are guaranteed to make some new friends. You might not win your match but you are sure to have a good time and maybe drink a few beers along the way.
The only problem is trying to keep score in Spanish, Chinese, or even Flemish. Your strategy stays the same though, no matter the language and no matter the scoring method (15, 11, or 9, it doesn’t matter!). Play your game and remember that this versatile sport with no boundaries is simply a wonderful game to be enjoyed all your life.
And to all the EZ Squash Ball users welcome to a fantastic game !!
SO HERE WE GO
Remember to watch the ball...
Racquet back early...

Squash: The Sport With No Boundaries!!!
I think that statement says it all. Growing up in the sports mad country of Australia, I was your typical 9 year old kid who tried just about every sport around: cricket, rugby, swimming, running, tennis, badminton, baseball, golf, surfing and, of course, soccer to name but a few. They were all great sports, but to me they all seemed to have their limitations.
Cricket = too slow
Rugby = whoa
Tennis = too wet
Running = I was too slow
Golf = too mellow
Surfing = too many wipe outs
Only one sport had all the answers to what I was looking for, a sport with no boundaries: squash. What other sport can you play anytime, in any weather and have such a great workout in just a short period of time. So here I am, 40 years later, still hitting that little ball around the court, enjoying the game as much as ever, still trying to improve my shots and reaping the rewards of seeing my students enjoy the game as much as me.Rugby = whoa
Tennis = too wet
Running = I was too slow
Golf = too mellow
Surfing = too many wipe outs

THE WONDERFUL GAME OF SQUASH
RATED #1 SPORT FOR FITNESS
BY FORBES MAGAZINE.
"The preferred game of Wall Street has convenience on its side, as 30 minutes on the squash court provides an impressive cardio respiratory workout. Extended rallies and almost constant running builds muscular strength and endurance in the lower body, while lunges, twists and turns increase flexibility in the back and abdomen. "For people just getting into the game, it's almost too much to sustain, but once you get there, squash is tremendous," says Paul Assaiante, head coach of the five-time defending national intercollegiate champion men's squash team at Trinity College in Hartford, Conn..."
