Racquetball has a fun and fast-paced game that can easily be played by up to two players. It can be played as singles (one versus one) or doubles (two against two). The rules of the game are fairly simple, so even beginners should be able to play and enjoy it without too much trouble.
How to Play
The three most important raquetball rules are serving, receiving, or scoring. There are some variations that apply to different versions of racquetball, but these three main rules are the most important ones you need to know in order to play the sport.
Service
To serve in a racquetball match, you stand an arm's length from the back wall and hit the ball to the front wall. The server for this game is the player with the closest bounce to the front walls.
If the server makes a mistake, the opponent takes the point. The server has two chances to successfully serve.
Returns
After a successful service, each player must return the ball alternately until the other fails to return it. You can return the ball directly to the wall or you can hit it on other walls. Then bounce it twice more on the floor.
The rally is won by the first player to return the ball successfully. Although the serving team is not eligible for points, they will be able to score the next point if their next serve is successful.
Doubles
For tournaments and competitions, racquetball teams consist of two players. They can compete in both singles and doubles, or they may also choose to form a "cut throat" team of three.
How to play with Doubles
Doubles racquetball is more difficult than singles. For example, each player can only use one tennis racquet. While your partner is returning the ball, you cannot walk alongside them. You also can't stop your opponent from reaching the ball or returning it.
A racquet must be slung over your shoulder but not above your head. The racquet must be held with the wrist thong firmly in place.
A server cannot serve a fault if they fail to bring the ball into play within ten second of the score being called by the referee. A serving fault also happens when the server fails to serve the ball from the correct position in the service box.
Safety Zone Violations
The safety zone for racquetball lies between the doubles partner and the server's boxes. If a served ball hits the doubles partner within this area, it will result in a loss in serve.
Defective Serve
The serving player must stay in the safety zone until the ball is passed the short line.
