Classes reflect sport's followin
By Jim Faddis
Racquetball has grown more popular and sq have the
racquetball classes offered at UNL, according to racquet
ball instructors.
Three sections of racquetball are offered each semester
and each section is limited to 30 students, said Bill
Tuning, assistant professor of physical education. Class
size is limited because the university only has nine
racquetball courts, Tuning said.
The racquetball classes fill up fast, Tuning said. He
recommended that students prc-register for them.
Racquetball popularity has risen the last few years as
people have become more physically active, and will
continue to rise even after the physical activity fad dies
out, Tuning said.
Racquetball has , become popular because it is a fun
way to get exercise, said Jake Cabell, an assistant football
coach, who also teaches racquetball.
"It's an exciting game," Cabell said. "It's not boring
like jogging and it is just as much exercise."
Tuning said racquetball is especially popular during the
winter-among people looking for a new sport to play.
"Racquetball is a game a person can learn quickly
and enjoy right away," Tuning said. 'There aren't as
many frustrations in racquetball as there are in other
sports like golf or tennis. It is easier for the beginner to
learn."
. Cabell said racquetball is a good conditioning sport a
person doesn't have to play a long time to get a good
workout.
Although racauetball is good exercise, a person doesn't
have to be in good physical condition to play it, Tuning"
said.
'The better shape you are in the more you will enjoy
it," he said. "But it is also a good way to get into shape."
Cabell said racquetball is mainly a game of quick moves
and positioning. A player must anticipate where the ball is
going to go and react quickly to it.
"It involves good hand-eyc coordination and agility,"
he said. "Many football and baseball players play it to
improve their reaction time."
Because it involves quick movements, Tuning
recommends that a person do stretching exercises before
playing to avoid pulling a muscle. A good pair of tennis
shoes is also important, Tuning said. ,
One problem in taking up racquetball is finding a place
to play, Cabell said. The nine university courts are not
enough for the university, he said. v
'To reserve a court you have to call in at 8 ajn and
even then youll be lucky to get one," he said .
Wallbangers, Sports Courts, the YMCA and the YWCA
also have racquetball courts, but the average cost for the
use of the courts is $6 an hour, Tuning said .
The racquetball classes at the university are mainly for
beginners, but an experienced player would also benefit
from it, Tuning said. He said the class concentrates on the
rules, fundamentals and strategy of the game and most of
the class time is spent playing the game.
Tuning said the classes are open to all students, but
students must provide their own racquet and ball.
