Join a Wallyball Game!
Get ready to experience the wild ride of Wallyball at The Racquet Club of Columbus! Never heard of it? Don’t worry, you’re in for a treat!
Wallyball is like volleyball’s hyperactive cousin just downed a double espresso. Played on a racquetball court, you can bounce the ball off the walls, earning it the nickname "rebound volleyball."
How It's Played: Picture this—four players on each team, and the ceiling and back wall are off-limits. It’s just like volleyball, but with wall-bouncing chaos added for extra fun!
History: The genius behind Wallyball, Joe Garcia, invented it in 1979 and initially called "ricochet ball." But let’s be real, “Wallyball” sounds way cooler,? It’s a mashup of “wall” and “volleyball,” and we’re here for it!
Benefits: Wallyball is not just a blast; it also doubles as a killer workout!
Our courts are open for all to enjoy. So, grab your sneakers and come join the Wallyball madness—we promise a good time and a whole lot of laughs!
