After reading the hand ball youtube thread, it got me thinking...

I play regularly. I've been playing with the same guy for the past year. He's a great player and frequents these boards, infact. Are there any other players out there?

I realize that I'm being incredibly specific on the internets so I don't expect anyone in my location so the latter part of the question comes in...does anyone on here play regularly? Are you good? How often do you play? Do you just socially with a friend every so often or does it get competitive at times?

I play about once a week with a good friend of mine. We meet up to socialize a bit and play, but he is a pretty competitive guy, so it can get intense. The gym I'm a member of has a couple of courts, so we do it for our cardio for the day. Man, racquetball really wears you out from sprinting everywhere!

Oh yea, I live in southwest LA (state, not city), so I'm nowhere near you. Sorry man.

I play socially, but I'm not in Orlando :( When I lived in Florida, the fire station next to my house had an open court...man I miss it! I just like playing for fun. It's funny, I haven't found too many other people who play...

I played in college when it was free. If I could afford a membership at the Y, I would play again.

I love racquetball, I used to play with my dad before he had knee surgery. I currently am trying to find a more regular partner, since my old one graduated and moved, and I stuck around for my MS.

Oddly enough 3years ago, I could get a court time at my school (University of Colorado Rec Center, we have 6 Courts)with about 7 seconds notice. Now if I dont book my court a day in advance, the odds of getting a good time are slim to none.

I wonder how hard/expensive it would be to set one up in your backyard...

I played racuetball all the time in college. When I moved to Tampa, I hard a hard time finding somebody to keep up with me...playing racquetball with noobs sucks. Now I live in Jersey City...haven't found anybody to play with yet...
