Ok. So, in Squash we have all these various lines and these boxes. And, so we're going
to tell you what they all mean here. So, this is called the tin. And, I don't know if it's
made out of tin or not. But, if the ball hits that it makes a sound. So, you know if your
shot was good or no good. So, every ball has to be right above the tin. If it touches the
tin in any way, shape or form you're shot is no good. If you hit the tin, it's not a
good sound. When your opponent hits it it's usually cheerier and it's usually a point
also. So, anything above the tin is good. Now, on the serve you're serve has to go above
the red line. This red line. Once the serve is done, this red line doesn't mean anything.
So, this is called the service line. You hit the ball with a cut line. You hit the above
this, your serve will hopefully be good. If you hit the ball, if it touches the red line
or goes below it your serve is no good. And, then your opponent takes over the serve. The
upper red line, as you can see here if the ball touches the wall above those red lines
or touches that red line the ball is out. So, your shot could be really good. But, just
clip the red line and it's no good. So, the more you play the more you're able to keep
it within the lines. And, then last but not least we've got the service boxes. When you
serve one foot, when you're the server one foot has to be in this little box in this
big box. And, then you serve to the opposite big box. So, that's what these little boxes
are for is your foot. One foot, when you serve has to be in them. But, otherwise they don't
mean a thing. And, then once the serve has taken place once you've served the opposite
big box none of these lines really mean anything either. So, those are what all the lines mean.
That's what the tin means. That's what the little boxes mean.
