The game of Whisperball™ (formerly
Wacquetball) is similar to racquetball but is designed to slow the game down
for seniors, handicapped, and younger kids. Whisperball™ is
fun, great exercise and can be very competitive. A foam Whisperball™ is
used to help slow the game down and does not hurt when hit like a
racquetball. The following link, showing seniors playing Whisperball™ in a
news story.

Club owners: Utilize your courts all
day! Seniors and handicapped have the time to occupy the courts during
the middle of the day and racquetball players use courts morning and
evening. The program started with local Silver Sneakers players and they
continue to be avid fans using courts late morning and early afternoon.
Racquetball Players: Help
introduce Whisperball™ to athletic clubs, YMCA, in senior centers and places
that handicapped can utilize for fun and
exercise. Empty courts during the middle of the day is
why we are loosing courts nation
wide. Help save the sport of racquetball. Introduce
Whisperball in every facility you can and send suggestions that may help others
in introducing Whisperball in other areas.
Whisperball can help keep courts open.
