USA Racquetball is evolving in 2019. The Board of Directors continues to invest time into the sport that we all love, and we are excited to see new initiatives take flight.

We feel it is paramount to a strong and growing organization to provide members with a look into our regular Board meetings -- the outcomes that are driving the sport forward.

Here are a few things we have been working on…

USA Racquetball's New Office

We are excited to move into a new office location in February, one that will locate USA Racquetball near other sports' national governing bodies and additionally save nearly $20,000 per year in operating expenses. Effective February 1st, the new address will be 1661 Mesa Avenue, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80906.

New USA Racquetball Staff Members Hired

As Executive Director Mike Wedel undertakes the initiative to build a USAR Dream Team, he has identified the need for additional support for our indoor and outdoor members. Joining Reneé Gundolff (in her new role as Associate Director -- Events and Operations) are two new membership coordinators who will be focusing on membership outreach, R2 workflow, national event management, ambassador programs, facility programs, and high school/collegiate programs.

College Team Scoring Clarification

In the January 7th USA Racquetball Board of Directors meeting, a proposal from the College Council was considered to update the definition of a college team. The proposed change read as follows: Two male players can comprise a team for men’s scoring. Two female players can comprise a team for women’s scoring. One male and one female can comprise a team for combined team scoring.

The intention of the change is to allow for more broad recognition of teams by universities and to promote the development of additional collegiate teams across the country. The recommendation was approved by the Board and will become effective at the 2019 Collegiate National Championships.
