Jeff Stark | Redding, California
Amateur Athlete | Class of 2023
Jeff Stark is perhaps the best Age-group player in the country today. He’s dominated both singles and doubles at the National level for more than a decade, and owns dozens of National titles. Whether it is singles, doubles, mixed doubles, or Centurion, Stark’s the favorite when he hits the court. His smooth lefty swing makes him a natural in doubles or singles. Even in his older years, Stark remains a fierce competitor in Open competitions, both at the local and national level, with several Open singles quarter finals appearances and one National doubles final in 2006, which qualified him for the US National team in 2006.
He’s also known to be the utmost competitor from an integrity perspective, and has been a big part of racquetball in the Northwest for decades. His competitors speak highly of him on and off the court, and his nomination by a fellow Hall of Famer came with the utmost respect.
