Squash or Racquetball

All - I just recently moved to Singapore from California where I used to play racquetball regularly. I consider myself a decent racquetball player, but I realize that there are no racquetball courts in Singapore. I figured I could start playing squash instead.
Could someone please point me in the right direction to start this game? I have no idea where any public courts are. I live near Newton/Novena, so it would be great to find something nearby. I don't even mind paying for a few lessons to get a hang of the sport. Thanks!

Hi all, i used to play racquetball in north carolina as well, but only for a short 4 months. I started playing squash a few months back, so i'm still a newbie.
Is anyone interested to play squash sometime soon? I'm living near Bishan, and i know the nearest squash centre will be at Yio Chu Kang sports hall. Thanks!

Hi, I am available to play. I live near Newton, but would need some instruction to get used to squash. I have played racquetball. Let me know if you want to play anytime this week.

I believe that OFS school has Raquetball courts as well as the American Club.

I checked the websites for OFS and the American Club, but did not find any info on their racquetball courts. maybe its not listed?
hmm i won't be free on other evenings this week. I am good for Monday or Tuesday evening next week though. i've linked a website for the rules:

Ok we'll make it Monday evening then. The Yio Chu Kang courts close at 10pm. what time works for you? 7pm or 8pm? I think we'll be playing for about 2 hours.
