We're thinking about making a handball journey out to Houston for a visit to the new cathedral. What kind of accommodations are available if we needed to crash for the night. Do you plan on doing any tourney's anytime soon? Do you have any pics of the interior. How does the ball bounce on plywood? What are airport options? Would Houston be the closest alternative? Let us know.

Awaiting your response...

I guess you are with "Que". I will be calling him tomorrow.
-The building will have guest rooms but the rooms are far from finished. In the future weeks to a month) there is a possibility of Certain players could come in and stay in one of the guest rooms.
Rain has slowed the subs working down as the building/gym is more like a house than just a steel building .
So it has taken way longer to finish than I ever thought.
-Yes, eventually I would be open to hold a tourney. But there is only one court so not sure if that is enough.
-The wall being a finished surface wooden wall in my opnion the ball bounces off it better than concrete. Seems to speed up the game a little. I could have easily had concrete forms poured. Obviously I prefer a wooden wall.
-The last pics of some of the inteior is on my profile page.I did not post pics of every part of the building.
-I am about 20-25 minutes from Hobby Airport. I am closer to Hobby than IAH.
- I am in a small town right next to Houston. My driveway is 25 Minutes from where the Texans play football.
When the lines are painted and the wall is finished and the building is semi furnished I will try and keep games going daily. Players coming from out of town is cool too. I just want people to play against everyday

Also, the wooden wall in the picture is not the wall that will be playing off of. The official wall will be a white smooth surface wall in from of that wall. So there will be no doubt about where the ball bounced.

Join the group "Houston One Wall pLAYERS" so when we get together for games its easier to send a message to everyone locally in the group. I am hoping to have the first official gameday at my new court in about 3 weeks( yea its been longer than I thought). Painters start work on Monday. Only Trim and fixtures after that. What 24 Hr fitness location?. There is raquetball courts usually not used at the one on Westheimer and dairy ashford. Anyone able to go there maybe would be a decent place to play ahead of time. I have a All-Club menbership so I can go to any location. Keep me posted

yeah..I live in Katy so westiemer and dairyahford is ok...I carry a ball all the time now in my gym bags...Im recovering from a pull hamstring but i should be good to go here soon pick a evening and Ill meet you at that location after 5pm I frequent meyerland also but thats only a basketball court that nobody uses. I acctually asked the MGR.s at a few location if I could line up the walls, if I get a few members wanting it, but they shot down the idea it would have to be a corporate descision..hit me back pick a eve. not wed. ...Im tied up wed. eve...later...BALL!!!!

I myself won't be able to compete this year. I havent got a chance to get my game back yet since the court is not finished yet. Perhaps next year once we had a while to play on my court and find out who the better players are then some will go to compete.
Keep me posted and be sure and alert serious players in the Houston/Galveston area of my court if they are looking to play One Wall (Big Blue)
