does anyone want to play/learn to play one wall handball?

dear everyone,


i need some new people to play handball with because no one I play with can beat me anymore... if anyone would be interested in picking up a new sport (its easy to learn and you don't need any gear) write back here or PM!

its basically like racquetball without rackets... there aren't that many rules...


here is a video (and lots of linked videos) on youtube, its really popular in NYC because courts are really easy to maintain and there is no gear involved so anyone can play, you just need a wall... we usually play on a court in east liberty but there is also a court in squirrel hill.

Kind of. Where?


I saw some guys playing handball in a raquetball court at my gym and I thought, gotta get me some of that. I realize it's different, but....

i won my high school gym class handball tournament in like 10th grade, so maybe i would stand a chance. and it sounds like fun. i'd like to give it a try.


however, i must say that my eyes are bigger than my...days? i always want to do more than i can, so let me know when and where, but i must advise against counting on me to attend regularly.

haha... the thing is i only play with like 5 people and none of them are super athletic, last year some guy came out from outside the city and played with us for like 3 hours and beat me in the last game we played together... you can learn fast and really no one that plays is that good... i just happen to be the best of the mediocre.


when is good for people? usually during the summer we play weekends earlier (10ish?) and weekdays 6-darkish when we play.
