1 Racquetball Rules

2 Additional help Example of how game is played

3 Game Time and Timing Regulations
Game- a game is won by the player who reaches 15 points first Match- a match is won by the player who wins 2 games. The third game, if necessary, of a match is played to 11 points.

4 Play Regulations Serving
The player who wins the toss starts and serves all games The server may serve from any place in the service zone. Stepping on the line but NOT BEYOND IT The ball must bounce to the floor in the service zone and then the server’s racquet so it hits the front wall first and rebounds back Only one bad serve

5 Serves Good serves Fault Serves Out Serves
The server stands between the two solid lines. A good serve hits the front wall before anything else. A good serve flies over both solid lines. A good serve hits the floor before hitting the back wall. It's ok to hit one side wall. Fault Serves Just like in tennis, you get one more chance if hit a fault serve. The common faults are hitting the ball too far, or too short. The fault serve does not hit the floor before hitting the back wall. The fault serve does not fly over both solid lines. Out Serves If hit a serve bad enough, you don't get another chance. An Out Serve happens when you miss ball entirely. An Out Serve happens when you miss the front wall. An Out Serve happens when you hit yourself with the ball.

6 Playing the Game After a good serve, you have to keep the rally going. It's simpler than serving. There's just two things you have to do: You have to hit the ball before it bounces twice. You have hit front wall before hitting the floor. Remember, only the server scores a point. If the returner wins a rally, they get to serve.

7 What if the ball hits the other player?
If the ball hits the other player, the point is played over with no penalty. The name for this is “Hinder”. If you think you're about to hit the other player, stop. This is no penalty. Tell the other player you called a hinder, so they know why you stopped. (Good players appreciate this.)
