A Racquetball Court is a three or four sided rectangular room of play with three distinct floor areas and fully playable surfaces used in the sport of Racquetball. Similar to a handball or squash court, most games are played in the receiving area of the court. Just beyond the receiving area and receiving line is the safety zone. Beyond the safety zone and the short line is the service area, which is flanked by screen lines and the doubles boxes. Unlike a squash court, there are no line markings on the front wall, and therefore all surfaces are playable throughout the court.
Racquetball Courts have an overall length of 40’ (12.19 m) and width of 20’ (6.1 m) for a total area of 800 ft² (74.3 m²). The front wall of a Racquetball Court must have a minimum height of 20’ (6.1 m) while the back wall has a minimum height of 12’ (3.66 m). The surface of a Racquetball Court is marked with a service line 15’ (4.57 m) from the front wall, followed by a short line at 20’ (6.1 m) and a receiving line of 25’ (7.62 m). Drive Service lines are placed on both sides of the service zone at a distance of 36” (91.4 cm) from the wall, with a service box line splitting the zone at 18” (45.7 cm).
