Quality Racquetball Instruction Produces The Best Players

By Lila Barry


Racquetball is a highly active game that can be lots of fun and great exercise. Those who have not played it before should receive proper racquetball instruction in order to make it a safer and more enjoyable experience. Learning the basic plays and rules is the best place to start, and gradually one can develop his or her own playing style which takes into account their major strengths.

When seeking proper instruction, it's best to learn from someone who has a full understanding of the game and the correct way to play it. Different instructors will have varying and sometimes conflicting perspectives on how the game should be played. In order to learn effectively, it is necessary to choose an instructor whose approach makes sense as there needs to be a general agreement between teacher and student.

With the help of a dedicated coach, any player can improve their game. If someone is new to the game, it will be best for him or her to learn the basics from someone who has been playing for awhile than trying to do so on their own. An instructor also acts as a guide and mentor to the player, providing encouragement and helping to prevent bad playing habits.

One can find a suitable coach by asking those who play the game, searching the internet, or asking at a health club that has a racquetball court. One may also want to sign up for a racquetball camp, which is sure to be a good place to meet some excellent coaches. A camp usually consists of several days of intensive training and practice which alone is helpful to player, but at its conclusion some may wish to start private lessons.

A player may want to try one lesson from several prospective instructors and then choose the best one. Although this does not offer a very comprehensive picture of the coach's abilities. Taking a series of lessons and evaluating the success of the training at the end by how much one has learned and developed in terms of skills is really the best way to assess this.

Proper training is also advisable in order to reduce the incidence of injuries. If a player does not know the proper swing and racquet handling techniques, this can lead to considerable strain on the muscles, joints, and tendons and may cause chronic pain. It's important to learn the proper body mechanics.

It is also important to start out with the right equipment for the game. The coach will ensure that his or her pupils are equipped with proper attire to play safely. This includes shoes with round-edged, rubber soles, and protective eyewear. One's racquet size also needs to be appropriate and must have proper string tension.

The student who is receiving racquetball instruction needs to constantly practice what he or she has been taught in order to get better. A unique playing style will inevitably begin to develop as most players continue to learn and practice, and most can play well against another person in about three months time. Once the student has mastered the game, he or she and the instructor can feel a sense of accomplishment and pride.
