Latinos at the park by my house play some strange version of racquetball using their hands instead of rackets.

That's called handball, you ignorant racist

I thought this was handball:

There are people at the Y that take raquetball really seriously.  Now that there's a raquetball thread, I'll try to take some pictures.

no mention of tennis balls (that these guys use), and some of these guys use little paddles. Also it's lots of old guys and sometimes they're slamming some suds while they play. but it's definitely essentially the same thing.

Latinos at my park also love volleyball. They bring their own nets and set them up in the baseball diamond outfield. Sometimes there will be three separate latino family volleyball games going on at once.
