Racquetball is an exciting, fast-paced sport that can be played either by one player or two. You can play singles or doubles, one against one or two against two. The rules are simple enough that even novices should be able play the game and have fun.
How to Play
You can break down the basic rules of racquetball into three parts: receiving, serving, and scoring. There are many variations, but these three rules are the most important for any version of racquetball.
Service
In order to serve in racquetball matches you must stand one arm from the backwall and hit the ball toward the front wall. The server is the person who gets the ball closest the wall.
If the server makes a mistake, the opponent takes the point. The server then has two chances to serve successfully.
Returns
After a successful return, the players will return the ball alternately until one of the two fails to return the ball. The ball can be returned directly to the front wall, or it can be hit onto other walls and bounced twice on the floor.
The rally ends when the ball is returned by the first person to win it. The serving team cannot earn points from that rally but they can score the next point if they win their next serve and then receive a second return.
Doubles
In racquetball, teams of two players are formed for tournaments and competitions. 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
The rules of racquetball in doubles are more stringent than those in singles. You can only use one racquet per person, for example. It is illegal to walk behind your partner when they return the ball.
You cannot hit the ball with a tennis racquet that is not slung over one's shoulder. The racquet must be held with the wrist thong firmly in place.
To be considered a serving fault, the server must put the ball in play within ten minutes of the referee calling the score. A server error is when the ball isn't served correctly in the box.
Safety Zone Violations
The safety zone in racquetball refers to the area between the doubles partner's and server's service boxes. The safety zone is the area between the doubles partners' service boxes.
Defective Serve
The serving player or doubles partner must not enter the safety zone before the served ball passes the short line and must be in the service box when a serve is called.
