Forest View converted two racquetball courts into Wallyball courts. Wallyball is a game similar to volleyball played inside a racquetball court using the sidewalls to keep your opponents guessing. This is a fun workout for anyone, and an easy game to learn. Only Forest View members may reserve a court, but any group can play on stand-by for $15 per hour (no guest fees for wallyball). Contact Forest View at 847-640-2574 for information on Wallyball, Permanent Court Time and leagues.
