In the general draws, when we needed several doubles partners for players traveling in from other states, we were so happy that some of the club members and the food caterer stepped up to fill the spots. They had not entered originally, but when they saw our group playing practice games on Monday, they figured they would fit in with our group perfectly. We got them all signed up as USA Racquetball members and added them into the tournament. What great guys for helping us out...and they won medals, too!

Another fun story of the tournament was the Canadians! A group of four racquetball friends ventured across the border to join us in the Men’s Doubles 60 and Men’s Doubles 65 divisions for the first time. They had heard about the NMRA for years as their dads had played years ago! It was finally time to try us, and they all did very well.

We hope to be back in Portland in a few years. It is such a great racquetball area for high school and younger players, and that energy spills over into NMRA age groups. Our next event will be at the end of March 2023 when we return to St. Louis to Vetta Racquet Sports - Concord. For our summer tournament, contracts have not yet been signed, but we are trying to bring our group to Pleasanton, California, in late July. More information coming soon.

If you haven’t yet played one of our events and you are 40 years old up to 100+, please consider joining us! You are never eliminated at our tournaments, and that provides a lot of value for your travel dollar. Call me if you have questions or want to get on the USA Racquetball/R2 Sports mailing list.

Update on Cathy Law: I reached out to Joe to see how Cathy is doing, and he reports: “Cathy is improving each day. It will likely be a month or so before she’s back to full swing. We will be back at a National Masters eventually. We are going to spend March and April in St. George, Utah, and play a bunch of racquetball with the locals and Warren Bailey. God Bless and Happy New Year.”

What great news! Happy New Year to Cathy, Joe, and all of our NMRA Players!
