Great Racquetball Instruction Is Essential To Becoming A Skilled Player

By Lila Barry


The game of racquetball is full of non-stop action and is a great way to stay in shape. Anyone who is not familiar with this game and would like to learn how to play it should be sure to get proper racquetball instruction. Starting with the basic rules and plays should come first, and as the player's strengths emerge, he or she can develop a unique playing style.

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 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.

Some players may want to take one lesson from a few different coaches and decide which one he or she is most comfortable working with. This may offer a very limited view of the quality of instruction however. It is best to take several lessons and upon their conclusion determine if the coach's teachings have clearly paid off in terms of know-how and skill development.

By receiving proper instruction, the player is also less likely to become injured. Without knowing the proper body mechanics, for instance how to grip one's racquet and swing, this can lead to stress on the muscles, tendons, and joints and cause pain.

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.

One receiving racquetball instruction should make a point of practicing the tips and skills learned, in between lessons as well. As training is continued most players will develop their own style of play and in three months time or so they should be able to play reasonably well against others. Successfully learning the game can bring pride to both the player and the coach.
