studying for when I school one of these middle aged white dudes at LA fitness

My dad used to play this all the time when I was a kid, sad that I never played with him. since my dad has passed this year I’ve been wanting to play.

When the rally ends, a point goes to the server if it was the receiver who failed to return. If the server failed the return, it is a side-out and the receiver becomes the server. Only the server can score a point.

I found the video more helpful in understanding the basic rules than other videos .

Great over view and I love the game. Closed captioned aided me in understand the what the instructor was saying. Now off to the racquetball court for a great workout!

Mann back in the day in my teenage years me and a couple of friends would play this for hours!!!! Great workout for sure. We would play double 2 vs 2. I miss those days.

This was the most helpful tutorial on how raquetball works.

Great video. I saw some racquetball games on the last Pan American Games in Toronto and I was a little confused about some rules. This video clarifies it all. Thanks a lot for posting this

Love you Malia....we learned a lot just watching you play!

Great video. I just took my first racquetball class and didn't understand a lot of things. This explanation was much better.

The boxes that are closest to the wall are the doubles boxes. When playing doubles, you must stand in the box closest to the wall on either side. The box next to it is the screen line. If your racquet crosses the screen line on a drive serve, and you send the ball down the line (you conceal the shot) it's an illegal screen. There is a screen line on both sides, for left, and right handed servers. Try looking up "screen line racquetball" for a more in depth explanation.

@x7VoobKillers on a serve the ball has to bounce somewhere between the short line and the back wall. Durring a serve the ball must ht the front wall first and cannot bounce off of the ceiling or hit both walls (it may hit one). Durring a rally the ball must het the front wall. it can bounce off of any combination of walls before doing so, but cannot het the floor before hitting the front wall

I just found a local racquetball court, and can’t wait to try it! Probably going to try it by myself first!

Wow! Very helpful and insightful! THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks..I do appreciate this.

Good rules review!

It's faster paced, more of a workout. Racquetball is less hardcore and you can be in much worse shape but still enjoy the game, that's the good thing about Racquetball, you have so much more time to return a ball.

@icanwalk you can let it bounce once and hit it off the backwall as long as you dont let it hit the floor after it hits the back wall, sometimes theyre great shots to take sometimes you hardly have a chance to hit them, you can also hit a bal rebounding off the back wall against the back wall, angle it up so it makes it to the front wall, as long as it makes it to the front wall before hitting the ground your ok

This was very clear and concise

@BadTomorrow Hmm I kinda miss heard that, you said before the front wall, which is correct. Still I think the clarification might help some.

Thanks for making the video. Ignore the "Communication Experts", I don't think they made an instructional video on explaining racquetball.

are you able to play this sport alone?? I'm interested in this sport but I have no friends that are interested in it :/

so after the initial serve .. once the rally starts you can hit it to anywhere on the court ? .. of course hitting the front wall first on each shot

Thank you! I have just played this at Centre Parcs in Longleat in UK, only knew the rules to Squash. Thank you so much, going to take this sport up at my local centre.

Thank you! This video was a good memory refresher. It's very complete and well explained. Well done!

this helped me alot my dads friend showed me this and now im interesed in this game so muchh!!!

What are the 2 rectangle boxes for on the left and right?

After serving and hitting the front wall, does it matter if the ball hits the side wall ( front side wall) before it goes to the opponent ? Years ago I developed a fancy serve where the ball would hit the front wall , then sharply at about a 45°angle hit the front side wall , then lob high with an arc to drop in the back left corner. My opponent could rarely return the serve. He did some " research" and told me it was an illegal serve. I'm just curious. Thanks

So can the ball hit the side wall then the back wall? Because it looks like it hits side wall and they play it.

super helpful, really made my day, thanks!

VERY hepful.. Thanks much.

I love how she says, "The rally is Oooover."

Daniel De La Rosa recently began playing my favorite sport, Pickleball, at a pro level. The announcers have mentioned several times that he is the Number 1 Racquetball player in the world, and several of my Racquetball playing friends have confirmed that. However, when I look up the top 10 R-ball players, his name is conspicuously absent, not only from the number one spot, but from the entire list. Does anyone know why that is?

Nice. Why is closed captioning not enabled?

Extremely helpful. Now hopefully I won't look like an idiot for my first try!

Good detailing

Regarding the serve, so I bounce it hit the front wall and so long as it crosses the second redline it's good even if it's the sidewall first?… I thought it had hit the floor first before heading sidewalls

excellent

I have a question... what happens if while in a rally one of the player hits the balls so hard that it directly hits the back wall, then bounces and hits the front wall.. can the other player still hit the ball as the ball has bounced only once?

By friend bounces the ball forcefully till it lobs over his head and then makes a tennis like serve. Is that allowed? I think its not allowed.

what if you mistakingly hit the ball into the other person back of the body after the serve or anytime during the match?

Hey, Justin here! Thanks for the basic tips and tricks of racquetball! As a professional player, I can tell you, you are on the way to becoming someone of my expertise. I love you.

very cool

I have a question and I was wondering if someone could help me out. Do you have to let the ball bounce or can you hit it out of the air without it ever touching the ground?

@possible894 why do you have to be a badass just hit the ball

What's the difference between racquetball and tennis?

Can we use two rackets?

is it a legal serve if you hit the back wall(first) the side-wall (before the service lines) and then comes back over and hits the opposite side wall...THEN bounces...just wondering...the last bounce is always unpredictable and it doesn;t seem legit

12 years ago Only 240 p available Still useful Now I can watch this racquetball in Tokyo Olympics

So basically squash if it was made as easy as possible?

Nice shoes

Yaaas receiver 🎉

I go to LA Fitness and get destroyed by geriatrics… feels bad man

Basic, simplified, video, for the new comer.

thaaaaanks

Correction, on your service rules. On the serve the ball may contact one sidewall after it hits the front wall. The ball may contact the sidewall before the shortline, but it must still make its first contact to the floor passed the shortline. My first serve almost always plays off a sidewall, I only simplify it I faulted my first attempt.

What happens when you hit an opponent with the ball?

I thought she was going to teach us what makes it hip hop

BEST SPORT EVAR

How much did wearing goggles actually help?

This is so fun to take a girl to play haha.

Why? Not trolling--I love racquetball, why is squash better?

Informative but wow, speed it up alittle.

Thanks Karen...

It would make so much more sense if you had to hit the ball into the floor when you serve like in ping pong. It's really cheap that you can bounce the ball then spike it low

View on KZfaq Paul Haber Against the Wall who in a winner take all match beat the national Racquetball champion

Why would you post this? Are you broken?

legs are amazing....

It looks on first sight like squash 😂😂

it's a legal serve.

4:16 is called hitting it off of the frame. dont do that!

Why am I here again? Oh right because I want to learn how to play racquetball because Marvin and Whizzer played it in Falsettos. God I'm a loser.

Prof Gross, if u see this, I'm training to beat u in raquetball

all i ever did was just randomly hit the ball LOL

That smacking noise she makes with her mouth between every sentence makes me want to die

You Americans need to try a proper rallying game like squash or uk racketball, (30 shots plus often per rally!!) not this silly 3-5 shot per rally game.

200 people who saw this video clearly prefer squash over racquetball.

Just play TENNIS!

lol roll your own tampons? to funny anyway great video for beginers

Squash is so much better!

Slowest..... woman...... eveeerrrr

Squash better

OMG this broad gets on my nerves lol " the rally is oooooooover... then she stutters and pauses and takes a deep breath lmao

That girl in the black skirt. Wowwwwwzzz.

The problem with racquetball is that it only takes 2 hours to master.

well, she has hot legs. cant imagine her with high heels

honestly, this is a joke compared to tennis... lol

JESUS CHRIST IS COMING SOON! We are all sinners . We've all fallen short of His glory. The wages of sin is death (hell) and that's what we all deserve. God is just, and because of that, He must punish evil. Jesus came and took our punishment and died (but rose again 3 days later) for our sins. All we have to do is repent and trust in Jesus Christ and we will have eternal life in heaven . Time is ticking, but it hasn't ran out ❤️

Ugly sport.

This woman is terribly annoying.
