Racquetball is both a recreational and competitive game. But whether you are playing just for fun with some friends on a Sunday morning, or your fellow club players during the week, or in a weekend tournament, it is always important to be safe, as well as know Racquetball etiquette. Here are some things to remember to do before and during play: Stretch before you play. Wear safety glasses when on the court. Check your equipment. Cross train - lift weights, jog, play another sport. Watch where the ball is at all times when playing. Eat right - don't eat a large meal before playing. Be aware of and pay attention to the safety line during play. Avoid dehydration and cramps - drink plenty of water before and during play. Know the rules of the game. Always knock BEFORE entering a court. Players could still be playing! Know what a Hinder is. Be courteous of other players. Show respect! Do NOT run into another player. Always stop. Don't swing if a player is in your way. Be honest! If you didn't get it, say so. You'll probably get the next one. Compliment your opponents when they hit a good shot or make a good play. |
