Great flexibility to play
You can pretty much play squash anytime with anyone, or even just by yourself.Playing indoors, you don't have to worry that a rainy day will ruin your training schedule. You can enjoy a good exercise session with an air-conditioned court near you.You can play squash with up to 4 people in a court for practices. But you can also avoid the hassle of matching everyone's schedule and just practice by yourself. And it is still a lot of fun!
