I'm pretty sure the only restriction for pros from other sports, or athletes in general, is they should start at 3.0. I play with a lady that was a nationally ranked racquetball player, she started as a 3.0 and actually stayed there for a few years. Her racquetball skills helped eye hand coordination, but the court sense and keeping her strokes from being too wristy kept her from being an immediate standout. She's great now. (That said, she's a doubles player, couldn't play singles to save her life. Darn I'm jealous...)
