Has anyone scene any racquetball courts in the Seoul area? You may know it also as handball courts. Usually you can find them with squash courts. I'll be there next month for a year and I don't think I'll survive long if I don't get the chance to put the hurt on someone in the court.

My friend told me that there are racquetball courts (and squash courts) at the Y near Hakdong Station in Gangnam. I haven't played for years, and was never that great, but I'd be willing to have the hurt put on me when you get here. Nothing says good times like racquetball safety specs.

I'd be willing to play on the weekends

sounds good guys. Make sure you bring your 'A' game.

I wouldn't mind wiping the handball court with anyone. Would that be the only handball wall in Seoul?

[raketbaler]

are you going to play handball or racquetball? If you want to play racquetball let me know.

[bacasper]

I prefer handball, but I'd play racquet. Heck, I've been jonesing so much I might even start playing badminton!

[raketbaler]

yeah, when I'm there I have to play some sort of racquet sport or I'll go crazy. I'm hoping to find some racquetball tournaments to maybe make a little extra money.

There's a gym outside Chongsin/Isu station (line 4, halfway between Samgakji and Sadang) that has squash courts, but unfortunately no raquetball. I believe it's outside exit 7 but not sure. Look for the sign saying "현대 스쿼시" (Hyundai Squash)just past Holly's Coffee on the right side of the road. Day pass for all gym facilities is 10,000 won.

I'll be going there this Sunday morning and will make a note of the exit number. If anyone wants to know, PM me and I'll get back to you Sunday evening.

Uh, I officially withdraw my offer to play someone who figures they can make money in a cash racquetball tournament. I'm sure you wouldn't break a sweat in a rapid demolition of my rusty, never-great skills. Though, let me know when you're up for a 20 mile run at 5 in the morning.

I'm not running 20 miles thanks. I will play squash though if I can't find a racquetball court.
