A ceiling serve is another way of going against the rules. This occurs when the ball touches the ceiling after hitting the front wall. The receiving player must be ready before service takes place. The server commits a fault serve if he comes off the service box even before the ball passes the short line. There are many people who might enlist in your program who actually do not know how to play the game to begin with. It would be really tough explaining to them the mechanics of racquetball and teaching them the main positioning and techniques in playing. It is best if you would try harder not to lose your cool. Another scenario would be if the ball goes overboard into an out-of-bounds surface such as the spectator s gallery, wall opening, or any area that deviates from normal playing field. Furthermore, a slow ball can also cost a player a rally particularly if it hits another player due to the lack of velocity required to reach the front wall. Play the angle in hitting the front wall so that the returning ball will be deep in a corner. If your opponent can hit it, he might be in an awkward place at the back corner and will have trouble in the next shot. Again, returning the shots is tricky by themselves. Placing the ball where you want it needs practice. Eye protection For a game that has a flying ball moving incredibly fast, your eyes (your most vulnerable body part) become dangerous random targets. Racquetball games require goggles to protect your eyes, no ifs and buts about it. They should be made of unbreakable plastic and need to be adjustable. (After a time, perspiration lubricates them and needs to be set securely again and again during the game proper. Interior bleeding in the eye socket, lacerations, bleeding eyelids, abrasions, swollen eyes these are some of the most common eye injuries. Wearing proper eye gear prevents serious injuries to the eye. Be sure to check if your goggles are properly recommended by the American Standard of Testing and Materials, and the Canadian Standards Association.
