I should have learned when I lived in England instead of California but I had access to squash courts and some friends who were really good at it. It was fun but a hassle to book courts, etc.
How to learn to play squash
It made me
ouch 
"painful on the joints, humbling on the spirit
"
How I did it: a good buddy who likes to revolve his business meetings around the court showed me all the angles and the rules and I just couldn't get my body to obey the spurts of jumping. Maybe my hamstring was torn from soccer.
Lessons & tips: jump more than run

Since a while ago I’ve knee problems, so I guess squash is one of the things I’ll have to give up in my life.

Today I played with A, and though I lost, the game has been cool :) I won a poit! :D It’s not much (compared to the other 4) but for me was great! In addition one game was very close, so with a little more it could have been 2-3 :)

Even if you are alone, you still can play Squash.. Oh, don’t worry about how to play, because it’s easier than you thought. Go with your willingness and the racket!!
Love It

I have found a sport apart from walking that I love. I knew nothing about this game and now I am even starting to learn some clever little tricks. Great to get out the aggression and I feel very empowered when playing.
It is a competitive, fun and very demanding sport – you have to be fit to play squash, not the other way around. It is a great cardio-vascular workout. 45 min hard and intensive game will expend about 700 calories, significantly greater amount than other sports, plus you don’t feel as tired as a gym workout because of the adrenaline and excitement which are involved in a competative sport.
I highly recommend trying it, at least.

Well my first session was excellent, over my first game I improved. I really enjoyed it and it was great to get the aggression out. Plan to go every Thursday from now on. I feel sore at the moment and I dread to think how I will feel tomorrow.
First Lesson This Week
3 years ago
I have found a squash partner (well someone who is willing to teach me). This Thursday at 6.30pm. Apparently I am suppose to wear shorts and a single top as you get very sweaty and hot. Oh crap, It’s been a long time since my legs were naked!!! Will have to search out a longish pair of shorts this week.
