The starter racquets are the "bent-frame" kind... just a straight piece of material formed into a head shape. Most of the time, those racquets end up bending and leaning to one side and are pretty much worthless. A midlevel head i.165 (http://www.racquetballwarehouse.com/descpage.html?PCODE=I165) or a used KM 750 (http://www.racquetballwarehouse.com/useddescpage.html?pcode=PK15750) or even a Gearbox GB50 (http://www.amazon.com/Gearbox-GB-50-Racquetball-Racquet/dp/B00GNMJ0UU?ie=UTF8&keywords=Gearbox%20racquetball&qid=1463611541&ref_=sr_1_12&sr=8-12) will be a million times better and will last you several years. I know A-level people that still play effectively with those racquets (minus the GB50, but that's still a solid starter racquet).
Bumming balls or using what's left after others play is doable if that's an option, or you can just go to walmart and pick up a can of anything (purple and ektelon fire (http://www.amazon.com/Ektelon-Fireball-Racquetballs-Red-ball/dp/B001E6L9XQ/ref=sr_1_5?s=racquet-sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1463611831&sr=1-5&keywords=ektelon+balls) tend to be the preferred tournament balls depending on where you live, but that might not matter to you).
As others have said, a cheap pair of safety glasses is a must, and decent ones simply aren't that expensive (http://www.amazon.com/Ektelon-Mirage-II-Racquetball-Eyewear/dp/B000ETVJSE/ref=sr_1_3?s=racquet-sports&ie=UTF8&qid=1463611766&sr=1-3&keywords=racquetball+glasses).
