American Handball

Ravenfreak
Has anyone ever played American handball before? It's different from international handball since in this sport you have to bounce a small ball against a wall and your opponent can't bounce it the same way. You also cannot let the ball bounce on the ground twice or go out of bounds. I remember when I was a kid there was a park nearby my elementary school that had an abandoned handball court. I guess where I live the sport didn't really catch on much, so the court went abandoned. (It was full of graffiti and I recall once trying to look at the court and take pictures that I was being watched by some woman so I just left quickly since I didn't want to get in trouble for checking it out.) The handball court has since been demolished for a playground. You can read more about it on this wikipedia article:
 
I had heard about American handball but had not seen it played. It does seem interesting and a different concept from any other sport I have played.

It reminds me of a game me and my friends used to play when I was younger where you had to hit the ball against the wall and if you missed it three times you were out, that was a lot of fun to play!
 
I can't say that I've ever played American handball before. It seems to be a sport that doesn't get a ton of mainstream attention compared to some others. From what I understand, it's kind of like racquetball but played with just your hands on a small court. Sounds like it would be a great workout with all the running, jumping, and hand-eye coordination required. While I haven't had the chance to try it myself yet, I'm always open to picking up new sports and activities. American handball could be a fun challenge to take on sometime.
