Racket ball11/13/2022 ![]() To demonstrate the game in action here’s a short video of several rallies between Paola Longoria (white tanktop) and Samantha Salas Solis (purple/gray tanktop) during 2011 US Open, followed by a quick analysis of what is happening. But if you are interested in all the nitty-gritty details of the rules, you can find most of them explained in the Advanced Racquetball Rules page of this site. I consciously glossed over many details to keep this short so you can get out there and start having fun with this wonderful game. These are the basic racquetball rules you need to be aware of to get a functional game going. This is called a hinder and it typically results in a simple replay of the rally. If both serves result in a fault serve, the other player now gets to serve.ĭue to the nature of the game both players can potentially occupy the same area of the court, thus blocking one of the players from making the best shot they can, or seeing the ball, or striking the other player with the ball. The server gets two chances to make a good serve. If at least one of these things do not occur, it is considered to be a fault serve. A single match is made up of three games, where the first two games go until 15 points and the last game only goes until 11.Ī good serve happens when the ball hits the front wall before anything else, flies over the service zone, and does not hit the back wall before hitting the floor (it’s OK to hit one side wall). When the serving player loses the rally, no points are gained or lost, but the other player gets to serve and now has a chance of scoring. Points can only be scored by the serving player and winning a rally during a serve scores exactly one point. The player who wins the rally always gets to serve. The players alternate taking shots at the front wall until someone is unable to keep the ball from bouncing on the floor more than once when receiving or reaching the front wall when returning a shot, thus losing the rally. Once the ball bounces off the front wall and flies beyond the service zone, the rally is on. Play starts with the server standing in the service zone (the area between two solid parallel lines in the middle of the court – see the diagram on the left), bouncing the ball once on the floor, and hitting it towards the wall on the opposite side of the opponent. ![]()
