Yeah very serious, I have played at Coney Island but it is usually too crowded so you need to wait too long to get on the courts. Now if I go there it is usually to check out a Handball tournament and take photos. I do know all the top players who play at Coney. The tournament prize might only be $300 but the players might have several thousand dollars in side bets.
I promoted one-wall Handball hardcore from 2002-2009 through my websites for free, but once I started promoting Adult stuff and starting making money...I needed to focus on the money. I still play Handball and hangout at the courts almost everyday from April - Sept. and also go indoors in the winter. My home park is Bailey Park, West 234th Street in the Bronx off the 1 train. Hanging out at the park is like a Cheers episode.
The sport has a lot of negatives being a street game, so sponsorship is hard to come by. Youtube and facebook has helped a lot, but it will be a while before it breaks mainstream. I have a ton of concepts and domains so hopefully in the future I will get back into promoting. But since I am having my first kid in January I think I might be to busy.
