Joseph G. Sobek was the inventor of racquetball, although he is not credited with coining the name (he called it “paddle rackets”). He developed the sport while working in a rubber manufacturing plant in Bridgeport, CT. A resident of Greenwich, CT, Sobek was also a tennis pro and squash and handball player.  If you’re interested in more facts about the history of the sport, check out this LINK.

As racquetball continues to adapt to the needs of the players and as new players are introduced to the sport, we desire to adapt as well.  Let us know ideas you may have to help us improve what we do with our racquetball program.  Send us an email with your thoughts.
