The fast-pace of racquetball makes it compelling to extreme athletes and engaging to both experienced fans and novice spectators. A reporter once dubbed the sport “high speed tennis in a box” ... and the game offers all the action and strategic challenge of its peer racquet sports, with the added excitement of diving retrievals and a tempo that revs up with every shot. It takes speed, strength and smarts to compete in racquetball. It takes a fun-loving spirit to enjoy the sport for recreation. It only takes a game or two to become hooked.
