The Racquetball Words Behind the Puns

Most good racquetball team names hide a shot or a rule inside a saying. These are the words that do the work.

WordWhat it means
Kill shotA shot that hits the front wall so low that it cannot be returned.
RolloutA kill shot that hits so low it rolls out along the floor without a real bounce.
PinchA shot that hits a side wall first and then the front wall low in the corner.
SplatA pinch hit from deep in the court close to the side wall. The ball flattens against the wall and makes a loud splat.
Ceiling ballA defensive shot that hits the ceiling first and pushes the opponent deep into the back of the court.
Z-ballA shot that hits the front wall, a side wall and then the other side wall, tracing a Z.
AceA serve the opponent cannot touch.
HinderInterference between players. A hinder means the rally is replayed, an avoidable hinder costs the player who caused it the rally.
Short lineThe line in the middle of the court that a serve has to carry past. A serve that lands in front of it is a short serve and a fault.
CutthroatA game for three players in which the server plays against the other two.
Side outThe loss of serve. In doubles it is a side out once both partners have lost their serve.

How to Pick a Racquetball Team Name

  • Keep it to two or three words. Ladder boards and tournament brackets cut long names short.
  • Build it on a racquetball word like kill shot, pinch, splat or ceiling ball, so it sounds like your sport and not like any team at the gym.
  • For doubles, pick something that works for both partners, not just the one who filled out the entry form.
  • Say it out loud the way the tournament desk will call it over the speaker.
  • If juniors play on the next court, keep the cheeky names for adult leagues.
