A racket sport contested between two singles players, or between two doubles. It is played on an indoor court which has four walls. A small ball is hit so that it bounces on the front wall, and is in turn returned by the opponent. The ball is only allowed to touch the floor once, but is allowed to bounce off the side and back walls. A player scores a point if the opponent's return is astray, faulty, or if they are unable to return the ball.
