How to Play Racquetball: A Beginner's Guide
Equipment Needed:
Racquet: Choose a racquet that feels comfortable in your hand. Beginners often opt for a larger head size for more forgiveness.
Ball: Racquetballs are designed for speed and bounce. Choose an appropriate ball for your skill level.
Eye Protection: Wearing protective eyewear is essential to prevent injuries.
The Basics:
Court Setup: Racquetball is typically played in an enclosed court with four walls. The court will have designated service boxes and a back wall.
Scoring System: Racquetball is played to 15 points (or 11 in some variations). Points can only be scored by the server.
Serving: The server stands in the service box and must bounce the ball once before hitting it. The ball must then hit the front wall first and clear the short line.
Rally: Players take turns hitting the ball against the front wall. The ball must be hit before it bounces twice on the floor.
Scoring Points: A point is scored when the server wins the rally. If the server loses the rally, it results in a side-out, and the opponent becomes the server.
Rules and Tips:
Serve Rotation: Players must rotate serving positions after a side-out. The server switches from the right side to the left.
Avoid Hindrance: Be aware of your opponent's position. Avoid hindering their shot or obstructing their view.
Court Etiquette: Wait for opponents to clear the court before serving. It's customary to announce the score before each serve.
Winning the Game: The first player to reach the designated number of points (15 or 11) wins the game.
Advanced Techniques:
Ceiling Shots: Master hitting shots off the ceiling to surprise your opponent.
Kill Shots: Practice hitting low shots close to the front wall to make it difficult for your opponent to return.

Remember, practice is key to improving your racquetball skills. Enjoy the game and have fun on the court!
