Learn the official rules of squash, including scoring, serving, lets, strokes and safe play. The embedded Squash Bond Nederland (SBN) rulebook is the complete reference for matches and competitions.
Rules at a glance
Scoring
Games are normally played to 11 points. At 10-all, a player must win by two clear points.
Serving
Serve from inside a service box and strike the front wall above the service line into the opposite back quarter.
Rallies
The ball may bounce once before it is returned to the front wall above the tin and below the out line.
Safety
Stop when a swing or direct path is unsafe. Lets and strokes resolve interference according to the full rules.
