My goal is to get more people playing racquetball and playing it safely.
1) Wear Goggles Players should always wear goggles especially with newcomers. Most of them want to hit the ball hard without proper footwork or mechanics. They also swing at the ball at the wrong time and probably have no real sense where their opponent is. Can it be any more dangerous? 2) Stay a swing and step away If you think you're going to hit someone stop and say "I held up." It's ok and in the official rule book. 3) Wear Court Shoes 4) Don't take shots that endanger your opponent or partner 5) Don't stand in the way of your opponent's shots Summary Additional Resources |
