The World Outdoor Racquetball Hall of Fame is proud to announce the induction of Kevin Booth and Greg Freeze as members of the Class of 2026, recognizing two competitors whose careers helped define generations of outdoor racquetball.

Both Orange County natives, Booth and Freeze became fixtures on the courts of Southern California and at Outdoor Nationals, where they spent decades competing against the sport's greatest players while building legacies of excellence, sportsmanship, and longevity.

Kevin Booth's outdoor career spanned four decades and multiple eras of the sport.
