What is a Rally in Racquetball?
A rally in racquetball is the exchange of shots from the serve until a player fails to return the ball. The serving player wins a point if they win the rally; otherwise, side out.
Example in a match
You serve, your opponent returns, you hit a kill shot. Rally over — you win the point because you were serving.
