Answer 1

I play squash by myself sometimes. If you're practicing then there's nothing wrong with going alone. Or, if you dont want to look like an idiot by going alone, you could always go with someone else who wants to practice and practice together?

Answer 2

Yes. I was once let down by a partner, and as I'd paid good money for the court I thought I'd better use it.

What I didn't account for was that I would be playing every shot, not every alternate one. The next morning, I ached in places that I didn't know I had!

Answer 3

You shouldn't worry about what others think. Practice by yourself if you want, get better, play them and thrash the pants of them.

Answer 4

You can play with yourself any time you want.

Answer 5

Yes, you can play squash by yourself. In fact if you want to improve, it's vital you play by yourself. All the best players in the world practice by themselves. If you think that's embarrassing, most serious players will also do what is called 'ghosting', where they practice squash without a ball, just to work on their footwork. So next time you're on a court playing on your own, just be grateful you at least have a ball

Answer 7

Ive played squash on my own before ? Just make a game of it . Just think its you and the racket , think of all those people you dislike and let rip!

Answer 8

Definately. I love squash and have on many occasions played by myself. It is the best way to practice those tricky shots. I like to play it really close to the wall for about 10 minutes and the run around for 10 and the back on the other wall back hand and the run around again. It gives you a much better workout too :)

Answer 9
