New to racquetball?

To play a game of racquetball you only need a few things to get started. Most racquetball equipment and accessories can be purchased seperately or starter kits can be purchased for about $30 from a club proshop or sporting goods retail store.
• Racquet (Cost anywhere from $20-$200, depends on budget, and willingness to pay for feel and technology.)
• Eyewear (Recommended and important, helps reduce the risk of injury if you are hit in the eye.)
• Ball (Balls come in different colors such as blue, green, lavender and black. Any color will do.)
• Glove. (Optional, this will help you keep a firm grip on the racquet during those fast rallies.)
• Shoes (Any type of indoor court or tennis shoe, there are shoes designed specifically for racquetball.)

For more information on how to play, tips from the pro's, video instruction and more visit Racquetball University online.

US OPEN Racquetball Championships Moving to Minneapolis

 

After 14 years in Memphis, the US OPEN Racquetball Championships will be moving to the great City of Minneapolis in 2010 and beyond. The announcement was made today at USA Racquetball’s headquarters in Colorado Springs, Colo.

US OPEN Event Director Doug Ganim stated, “This is an incredibly exciting time in the history of the US OPEN. Due to the explosive growth of the event, we found ourselves with the challenge of identifying a new host city that could handle the size and scope of the tournament now and into the future. We were already using four different clubs in Memphis and found that we needed to add a fifth club. One was just not available.”
