The event is free to attend\, it isn’t a competitive game\, and is just a lot of fun! \nJoin us to meet new friends\, create community\, and play wallyball! Similar to volleyball except it is played on a racquetball court and you can use the walls. There is no expectation that you have played before or that you are athletic. This is a fun social game for all skill levels. Come on your own or grab a friend and have some fun. The best part\, there are no fees because the game is on us.
