PE 10 - Racquetball I

This course will provide the opportunity to learn the basic rules and strategies for playing the game of racquetball. This is a pass/no pass activity course and attendance is vital to the success of this course. Throughout this course students will be introduced to the mechanics of the forehand and backhand and will practice a variety of defensive and offensive shots such as the ceiling shot and kill shot. Students will gain an understanding of all of the rules of serving for both singles and doubles and will practice several different types of serves. Students will have the opportunity to play singles, doubles and cutthroat games throughout the semester and will participate in tournament play towards the end of the term. Throughout the term we will also incorporate some pickleball instruction and games and use the indoor track for warm up for our class activities. (1 Credits)
