Well, the bigger question is, why would God want to play raquetball in the 1st place? Here are the reasons most people engage in sports, and why they would not be relevant to God.

1. To keep in shape. Clearly it's not a problem for God.

2. To improve ones ability at the sport. Also not a problem for God.

3. For the drama and excitement. This sounds good, but it's not very dramatic or exciting for an omnipotent/omniscient God, who can not only determine whether He wins or throws the game, but also knows beforehand who will win and who will lose due to his omniscience.

4. As a social pastime. Well, here's one that sort of makes sense. God wants to just shoot the breeze with me, and we're playing raquetball as sort of an excuse to get together. But I feel sorry for God, since clearly raquetball has no appeal to Him other than my company, so I would suggest we go to a house party instead, so he can catch up with a lot more people than just myself.
