Racquetball 101 Fotolia.com Racquetball is a young sport, but it has grown in popularity since its official creation in 1968. Racquetball courts now appear in gyms, college facilities and even in some high schools. While it has not yet been made an Olympic sport, racquetball's rise in popularity demonstrates a promising future for the sport. Joe Sobek, a tennis and handball enthusiast, became the "father of racquetball," when he invented a game involving stringed paddle rackets and a rubber ball. According to U.S.A. Racquetball, the earliest known racquetball events were held in 1968 (Milwaukee) and 1969 (St. Louis), and racquetball enthusiasts debate over which competition was the first actual national championship. By 1974, only six years after the game's invention, there were about three million players worldwide. USA Racquetball (USAR) recognizes singles and doubles as the two forms of the game. A third version, cutthroat, is played with three participants but this style is not played in tournaments. In singles, two players compete against each other to maintain a volley for as long as possible. In doubles, a pair of players competes with another pair.
