I’m taking 3 weeks off of playing, but I want to keep up my game? What should I do? Weights?

How about tennis? Maybe handball? Why are you taking 3 weeks off?

Otherwise, maybe running. Not just jogging – if I were you, I’d alternate sprinting and light jogging. That would seem to mimic the lunging energy bursts needed for racquetball.
