CDC Safety Guidelines

  • Have one player designated as the “door opener/closer." That person opens and closes the door between games and during timeouts.
  • No shaking hands before or after games. No high fives or fist bumps after rallies.
  • Play singles. Doubles may create incidental contact and close proximity.
  • If you do play doubles, avoid close whispering/strategizing and consider each partner covering an exclusive area of the court (left/right or front/back). This will help reduce the possibility of physical contact between players.
  • Wear a glove on both hands. Try not to touch your face after making contact with a ball, racquet, wall, etc. Wash your hands promptly before touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
  • Handwashing is the best defense, but considering keeping a small bottle of sanitizer in your bag to use until you can get to a sink and soap.
  • Use more than one racquetball. Do not pick up your opponent's ball with your hands. Use your racquet/foot to pick up balls and hit or kick them to your opponent.
    • For Singles. Use two balls, one for each player. Use either a different color ball or make a marking on each ball with a Sharpie to differentiate. Each player serves their own ball. When receiving, a player keeps their ball in their pocket or safely in a back corner out of play.
    • For Doubles. Same as Singles, but with four balls.
