The inaugural Hall of Fame event took place in 1988, created and hosted by Bob McNamara at the Greenway Health Club in Minneapolis. It was founded to bring the community together each year through a tournament and a celebratory banquet.

This annual event has become more than a gathering — it’s a celebration of community, a tribute to the players who shaped the sport, and an investment in the young athletes who will carry racquetball into the future. Through the generosity of sponsors and donors, auctioned items help fuel grassroots programs. By honoring our promise to keep this tradition alive, we ensure that Bob’s legacy of giving continues to inspire, uplift, and strengthen the racquetball family year after year.

The Minnesota Racquetball Legacy Group and the Minnesota Racquetball Association proudly continue to host the Upper Midwest’s largest racquetball fundraiser. This year marks our 37th annual event, taking place from February 26 to March 1st at the University of Minnesota.

We invite you all to the Minnesota Racquetball Hall of Fame event!
Please join us for healthy competition, watch and socialize and help celebrate our
rich tradition of racquetball and raising funds for grassroot programs.

Everyone should plan to play on Friday
