I do! I'm pretty decent if I haven't been playing racquetball (though I prefer racquetball). It is very fun as long as you play with someone who can keep a decent volley.

Me!
How long have you played? I'm not sure I can handle losing to you in both WWF and tennis.

A long time, but I mostly stopped throughout college/post-college. I only play a couple of times a year (in a good year) at this point.

Everyone else is beating me at WWF right now, including my grandma

Former competitive player here (back in high school), love playing recreationally now. I've been researching all of the schools' courts - a lot of them look really nice.

I've played during the summers when my friends and I were stuck at the cc and couldn't play golf. I prefer golf for networking, yet it's good to be decent at both. I haven't played since college, when I wanted to bone this girl who played on the school's tennis team.
You never cease to amaze me fips

I knew you were talking about racquetball earlier And you spelled it right. Huzzah!!

Would love to dabble in raquetball and/or squash. Have also played paddle tennis a few times, and am my high school's former pickleball champion. Basically I'm into any and all paddle sports

I think anyone who has dedicated any time to it (outside of one or two games with friends) would know how to properly spell it (I took a class). Story time (I love telling this one): One day in class we were doing matches for our little tournament thing (to rank us which was part of our grade). Me and this other kid were the best in the class (he may have been better than me by a hair, definitely more controlled but I'm just crazy hyped and energetic when I play so it works). We were playing against each other. The match was going really well, really competitive points, great shots, etc. Then, after one of the points I notice some folks in suits walking by our court (the back wall was glass). It was clear that they were donors or execs of some sort (suits, no kids, important looking). We started playing the point. Great saves, shots, and movement. The point ends and the folks are still back there watching. I assume my opponent saw them as well, but I definitely wanted to keep the show going. They watched us for a solid 5-10 minutes while we were playing. I guess that would be nothing for you and your pro-status, but it made me feel legit.

I bet NYU's rooftop courts are awesome, but unfortunately it looks like they'll be closed spring 2016 until who knows when.

Wouldn't do that if you like living.
