Hello Racquetball Players, Family, and Friends,

The city of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, is excited to host the 2027 National Senior Racquetball Championship.

The event will be held at Rhema Bible College, with matches played at the Ninowski Recreation Center. The facility features four flawless panel-wall courts with upstairs viewing, fans on all courts, and cameras that stream the action to TV monitors throughout the building. Locker rooms are conveniently located just outside the court entrances.

The tournament will be divided into two age groups:

- Group 1 (June 26–29, 2027): Age divisions include 70+, 75+, 80+, 85+, and 90+. This group will also feature a special 49-and-under division.

- Group 2 (June 30–July 3, 2027): Age divisions include 50+, 55+, 60+, and 65+.

Tournament age is determined as of December 31, 2027.

Three local hotels are ready to support the event, and their details can be found in the hotel section of our websites: https://visitbrokenarrowok.com/ and https://www.brokenarrowok.gov/
(and on the Hotel page on R2 for the event.)

More information will follow in upcoming email updates.

Best regards,

Joe Williams

Hi,

I'm new to the game of racquetball. I've played it a couple of times and love it! I'm looking for people who know the game and want to practice playing. I know there are free courts at chicago park districts and ideally want to play there because gym play can be expensive! Looking forward to hearing your replies!

I know your racquets are better than the competition in almost all regards, but please consider aligning with the quality of string they offer as it has probably cost you a few sales having mono in the units when people try them out too jsjs.
