Racquetball is “…an indoor game in which two players use racquets to hit a small rubber ball against the four walls of the court…” It is a very fast game, which requires a high degree of anticipation, lightning reflexes and skilled motor activity. Exceptional training is required to acquire the skills needed to become a player par excellence!

It is believed to be a mélange of handball and squash, two popular sports. It is an indoor game played in a special enclosed court. This game is credited to have been devised and developed in the United States of America by Joe Sobek, a tennis professional from Connecticut, in the year 1949. He had been dreaming passionately to develop a sport, which was easy to understand and play and at the same time fast paced. He combined handball and squash and realized his passion.

Racquetball has become a very popular sport in North America from the early part of 1970. You can learn the game without any difficulty, as it is pure fun.

There are two racquetball courts located in the Rapid City Swim Center at 125 Waterloo Street available for use by the community. Call the Recreation Department at 394-4168 to schedule court times.
