Unless it is clearly broken, play until the ball is dead then inspect it. If it's found to be broken, replay the point. see http://www.usra.org/Rulebook.aspx "If there is any suspicion that a ball has broken during a rally, play shall continue until the end of the rally. The referee or any player may request the ball be examined. If the referee decides the ball is broken, the ball will be replaced and the rally replayed. The server resumes play at first serve. The only proper way to check for a broken ball is to squeeze it by hand. (Checking the ball by striking it with a racquet will not be considered a valid check and shall work to the disadvantage of the player or team that struck the ball after the rally.)"
You hit a Ball With a Raquet so they just called it raquet ball...
Equipment This court and equipment are required for playing racquetball: * A racquetball court; fully enclosed indoor or outdoor with forward wall * A racquetball; a dynamic (bouncy) rubber ball of 2.25 in. (57 mm) diameter * Two racquetball racquets; no longer than 22 inches * Racquetball goggles (Optional - Some clubs mandate goggles, while others do not.)
No it is not a hindrance. The person can keep playing the point if they can get up and get to the ball.
Yes, as long as his or her foot is planted on the ground and does not move. There must be no "kicking" motion as it makes contact with the ball.
A rally, is when the ball constantly goes back and forth, between the two teams.
The balls are very small and come in varying speeds.
The rule is: The person who is struck by the ball gets to cry without being made fun of.
A rally is the complete number of hits between each team. It is when the teams hit the ball back and forth without the ball touching the ground or a breach of the rules. A rally is over when a team messes up, and cannot legally keep the ball in play. Rally scoring is when the team wins the point, they also win the serve.
When serving, this is called a "drive serve."
A racquetball will bounce higher. A racquetball is required to be able to bounce 68 to 72 inches from a 100 inch drop at an outside temperature of 70 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit. A tennis ball will only rebound 46 to 52 inches but the USTA doesn't give a drop or temperature requirement.
Rally scoring is today's standard method of scoring in volleyball. It gives the point and serve to the team who won the rally, regardless of which team that served the ball.
It means to volley the ball.
