Squash

Woosh there went the ball past me with heaps of might.

On Monday straight after morning tea our class went to the hall to play squash. We got to go for 45 minutes. Soon to men introduced themselves to us, one of them was so tall, his name was Phil. He showed us some basic’s about squash. Phil showed us the big black wall that we were going to use to play squash. “The ball will hit the wall then the other person will have to hit it back and it will go on and on until one of you get out” Phil explained.

Michael showed us how to hit and where not to hit. Soon Phil split our class into two groups. When I had my first shot it was so cool because that was my first time playing squash. In the meantime we had to swap we had to get a squash racket and a squash ball, the squash ball was really soft and bouncy.

The squash ball was really bouncy. After a few seconds later Phil told us to bounce the ball then flip the racket over. I tried and tried, when I tried to hit the ball it went the wrong way, but it was still fun learning new skills. At the end Phil told us that he will see us on Tuesday. Before we went to class Michael asked us if we still remembered some of the squash rules, he asked us to tell him some. In the meantime we had to go back to class.

The best number one female for squash is , Nicol David, and the best number one male for squash is Ramy Ashour. Squash was invented in Harrow school around 1830. Harrow school is in England. What you wear for squash is a pair of shoes and glasses to stop the ball hitting on your face, also a T-shirt and shorts.
