If I Miss a Serve in Squash Do I Get a Second Try?

In squash, a serve is considered successful if it lands in the correct service court and the receiver is unable to make a legal return. If a player misses the service court on their first attempt, they do not get a second chance. The serve then passes to the opponent.

Rules for Serving in Squash:

  • The serve must be hit underhand.
  • The server must stand behind the service line and hit the ball in a downward direction.
  • The ball must land in the diagonal service court opposite the server.
  • The ball must not hit the tin (the metal strip at the front of the court) or the side walls before landing in the service court.

Consequences of Missing a Serve:

If a player misses the service court on their first attempt, they lose the point and the serve passes to their opponent. This can put the player at a disadvantage, as they will have to wait until their next turn to serve again.

  1. Is a serve considered successful if it hits the side walls before landing in the service court? No, the serve must land in the service court without touching the side walls.
  2. Can a player serve from anywhere behind the service line? No, the player must stand in the service box when serving.
  3. What happens if the server hits the tin on their serve? The serve is considered a fault and the player loses the point.
  4. Is it legal to volley a serve? No, the serve must be hit underhand.
  5. How many serves does a player get in a squash game? Each player gets one serve per point.
