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.

The best instructor is someone who not only loves the game, but also has a lot of knowledge about how it is to be played. Not every person who teaches the game will be in agreement with each other, some will have opposing viewpoints regarding certain plays etc. The student should choose a coach whom he or she can easily understand in order to get the most out of the experience.

The right coach can help anyone learn to play smarter. People who are just learning for the first time, will find it easier to learn the essentials from an experienced and skilled player, than on their own. This person can also act as a mentor and guide, helping to keep the player motivated and point out any mistakes he or she is making in order to curtail bad habits.

One can find a good instructor by asking others who play the game, inquiring at a health club which offer racquetball facilities, or searching online. Or there is the option of attending a racquetball camp where will surely be several exceptional coaches. The camp will likely offer several days of intense training and practice which can be very beneficial, but it also serves as an opportunity to meet instructors who may also offer individual lessons.

If there are several coaches a player is considering, he or she may simply want to attend one lesson with each and then continue with the most suitable one. This doesn't present a full picture of what each instructor can offer however. Generally one cannot fully evaluate a trainer's abilities until a full course of lessons have been completed by the student.

A good reason to get proper instruction is to avoid injuries. Many racquetball injuries occur from simply not knowing the correct body mechanics, such as how to swing or grip the racquet. Repeatedly practicing the right technique can reduce the strain on one's joints, muscles, and tendons and prevent post-game aches and pains.

Ensuring that one has proper equipment is another important aspect of safe play. An instructor will make sure that his or her students have all pieces which are necessary before they begin lessons. This includes protective eyewear, and rubber-soled, round-edged shoes for the court. A racquet must also be properly matched to the player's body type and have the right 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.
