Yes.
Various forms of energy can be converted into each other, such as thermal energy into mechanical energy in a steam engine, electrical energy into light and heat in a light bulb, and chemical energy into kinetic energy in our muscles.
The forms of energy include mechanical, thermal, sound, light, chemical, nuclear, and electrical energy. Each form of energy has specific characteristics and can be converted from one form to another.
Light bulb: Electrical energy is converted into light and heat energy. Electric heater: Electrical energy is converted into heat energy. Television: Electrical energy is converted into light and sound energy. Electric fan: Electrical energy is converted into mechanical and sound energy. Computer: Electrical energy is converted into heat and sound energy, as well as processing and display energy.
When a basketball is dribbled, kinetic energy from the motion of the ball is converted into elastic potential energy when it compresses upon hitting the ground. This potential energy is then converted back into kinetic energy as the ball rebounds off the ground. The process repeats with each bounce, converting energy between kinetic and potential forms.
Hydroelectric power involves multiple transfers of energy because water flow is converted into kinetic energy, which then drives a turbine to generate mechanical energy, finally converted into electrical energy via a generator. Each stage of this process involves the transformation and transfer of energy from one form to another.

A racquetball space could be converted into 2 usable levels but each level would need to be 40 feet long, 20 feet high, and 20 feet high to meet the official dimension regulations for a racquetball court.

It's never "consumed". It is converted into other forms of energy ... and at each conversion some is converted into heat. Sooner or later (with each conversion) it all turns into heat energy.
The sunmost living things get their energy from the sun, though indirectly. the bottom of the food chain depends on plants, then other animals eat those animals. Through each layer there is less energy being passed along, because most of the energy comes from the sun (and water and oxygen that plants need to produce energy), and is converted into usable energy by plants and the like
When you cause friction, the kinetic energy from the rubbing motion is converted into heat energy. This increase in heat energy warms up your hands as they come into contact with each other or with another surface.
In a loudspeaker, electrical energy is converted to mechanical energy in the form of vibrations through the movement of a diaphragm. This mechanical energy produces sound waves which carry energy through the air to reach our ears. At each stage of the process, energy is conserved and transformed from one form to another.
The electrical energy supplied to the bumper cars is converted into kinetic energy when the cars move or collide. This kinetic energy is responsible for their motion and the bouncing effect that occurs when they bump into each other.
When a ball is dropped and bounces, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as it falls. Upon impact with the ground, some of the kinetic energy is converted into elastic potential energy as the ball compresses. This elastic potential energy is then converted back into kinetic energy as the ball bounces back up.
