Racquetball

Racquetball is a sport in which two teams of one or two players hit a ball against the four walls and ceiling of an enclosed court with short rackets made of wood, steel, or fiberglass, strung with nylon, and featuring a wrist strap. The object of the game is to hit the ball in a manner that makes it difficult for opponents to return the ball successfully. The first team to score 15 points wins. Racquetball was invented by a former squash and tennis teacher in 1950 and today is extremely popular throughout North America. This section focuses on racquetball.
