Squash practice :Jacob

This week we are doing squash. This is me practising squash with friends to get balance. We had to balance the ball on the racket and walk around while balancing the ball.

The aim is to get the ball to bounce when it is the other person's turn to hit the ball. On the serve you need to hit it on the full and above the middle line and below the bottom line.
