Racquetball is a fast-paced indoor racquet sport played with a hollow rubber ball and solid racquets.
In racquetball, the objective is to hit the ball against the front wall in a way that makes it difficult for the opponent to return. Players take turns serving and returning the ball until one fails to make a legal return or commits a fault, resulting in the opponent scoring a point.
The game features intense rallies, quick reflexes, and strategic shot placement. Players must use the walls to their advantage, as the ball can bounce off multiple surfaces during a rally. The sport can be played in singles or doubles format, with doubles involving teams of two players.
Racquetball is known for its physical demands, requiring agility, speed, and hand-eye coordination. It can be played at various skill levels, from casual recreational play to competitive tournaments.
Racquetball is available at both the Moline-East Moline YMCA and Kewanee YMCA.
