Me and the lil one played racquetball at the new gym today. They have these indoor courts (big tall/long rooms with hardwood floors and strong walls to smack a ball against). Had to bring our own rackets and balls though. We went last time and asked at the front desk for the stuff but they said we had to bring our own. I figured they would have it because they give you the rock climbing wall harness when you ask for it. Anyway we went to the store and bought the stuff so we could play this time.



Was fun and good exercise.

Love racquetball - it's an incredible workout. I haven't played at indoor courts though, we have some at the park.



Racquetball makes tennis look like slow motion.



ENJOY!
 
Love Racqueball and my friend and I play indoors twice a week. It's great excerise and we too had to buy our own equipment.
 
I don't know how you officially play the game. We were just smacking the balls against the wall and hitting them when they bounced back.
 
Racqetball is like squash, only faster. The ball in racquetball is bigger and bouncier so there is much more play off the back wall. I find it a lot harder than squash, but maybe because I grew up playing squash.

I've never played squash, but I'm up for a good game of racquetball. When and where?
