Squash is a sport played by two or four players in a four-walled court. Players take turns hitting a small rubber ball against the front wall, aiming to make it bounce in a way that their opponent cannot return it. The game can be played in singles or doubles format, and it requires agility, strategy, and quick reflexes. The sport is also associated with various types of squash varieties, which are edible fruits and vegetables. These include summer squash, like zucchini, and winter squash, such as butternut squash. Both types are nutritious and can be prepared in numerous ways, making them popular in many cuisines.
