I am sure there are many former racquetball players here in TV. Have any of you wondered why there are no 3 wall outdoor courts in TV? They are not that uncommon in Florida.

Maybe because of no perceived interest?

The Morse Family is on record saying that they listen....so apparently there hasn't been enough folks asking for racquetball courts

Some behind ladylake library in the sports complex, also some in Ocala. I too wonder why?

older folks having slower reaction time and afraid of accidents?

very true....all ya have to do is to look at all the gates that get knocked down and all the light poles knocked over on BV and Morse and you can tell some of us are getting a little slow on the uptake

maybe the Enrichment Academy (or whatever it's being called now) should offer safe driver training at no cost

I think they listen, they no longer put horseshoe pits at the neighborhood pools, replaced by bean toss. Much safer to say the least.

They need to consider the younger generation that are prospective buyers with their interests, golf not as popular as with the older generation. Beside the 3 wall hand ball courts would be popular with ex-convicts living with ________?

Not a question of old and decrepit the ball does come off the front wall rather fast. Was just a thought in any case. If they had courts would probably start playing again.

Guess they didnt need horseshoes for the horses around here either

Maybe you can find a listing of play using keywords "Handball Courts"....

In case not aware, Platform Tennis incorporates elements of racquetball when playing the ball off the screens.

I’d there was ever sport that could put you’re eye out it’s racketball. Safety glasses a must!

I love racquetball, but not likely to appear in TV imho.

Hard smashes with not-so-forgiving ball. Lots of hard direction changes to cover back court and side courts and then to get right back up front again. Not like any other racquet sport currently in TV.

Again, imho.
