Ahead of the upcoming 2025 USA Racquetball Junior National Festival and Championships, taking place June 25–29 at the University of Minnesota, players were invited to apply for one of five $500 awards designed to help offset the cost of attending the event.
A total of 13 heartfelt and inspiring essays were submitted, making the selection process incredibly difficult. Submissions were reviewed and voted on by members of the USA Racquetball Junior Committee, USA Racquetball staff and board, and generous event sponsors.
We’re proud to announce the five recipients of this year’s awards: Renata Ausucua, Nyasa Gupta, Luke Vanderbeek, Grant Williams, and Jeremiah Witt

Congratulations to each of these remarkable junior athletes! Your passion for racquetball, commitment to growth, and inspiring personal stories truly represent the heart of our sport.
Thank you to all who applied — your journeys are what make the racquetball community so special. We can’t wait to see you on the courts in Minnesota!
The next generation of Racquetball players is the base of where the sport grows from. Have you introduced a junior to the sport? Many are hooked within seconds and they will tell their friends. Be inspired by these players and introduce a Junior to the game today!
