How many times does a squash ball bounce in each shot during a game?
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) 4
Correct Answer: A) 1
Explanation: In squash, the ball is allowed to bounce only once on the floor before a player must return it. After the ball is served, players take turns hitting it against the front wall, and it can only bounce once on the ground before being struck by the opponent. If the ball bounces more than once before being returned, the point is lost.
- B) 2: If the ball bounces twice before being hit, the player loses the point.
- C) 3: This is incorrect; the ball cannot bounce three times.
- D) 4: In squash, this would result in a lost point long before the ball bounces four times.
Thus, the correct number of bounces allowed per shot in squash is 1, making quick reflexes and movement critical in the game.
