    Racquetball Packet # 18

    RACQUETBALL PACKET # 18 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity, and relates its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and appreciation of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Racquetball is a relatively new game which continues to grow in popularity. It can be played competitively or simply for fun and relaxation. HISTORY OF THE GAME Racquetball is an offshoot of the game of tennis. It’s tempting to make comparisons between the two sports but we have to be careful not to be misleading! According to many pros, excelling in one of the racquet sports does not necessarily guarantee top performance in another. Racquetball is a young sport, having originated in the United States in the 1950s. Although it is strenuous and physically challenging, it does not entail chasing balls all over a court. But like tennis, it does require both supe- rior physical dexterity as well as the ability to strategize quickly and effectively. HOW RACQUETBALL IS PLAYED BASIC RULES Racquetball can be played alone, against one opponent as a singles game, or with four Physical Education Learning Packets #18 Racquetball Text © 2008 The Advantage Press, Inc. players as a doubles game. In racquetball, the first team or player to score 21 points (or to score 11 points if the opposing players remain scoreless) wins. A match is won by the first side to win two games. The server or serving side tries to win each volley by serving or returning the ball so that the opposition is not able to keep the ball in play.
