Warning: This sport is addicting. Guaranteed to make you sweat!

Last updated 1-17-08

I wanted to update everyone on what is going on (or not) in the Quad City Area. North Scott Fitness Center, where we have our tournaments, is now owned by the City of Eldridge. In the past we have worked with private owners who have been very helpful in putting on tournaments. The other problem we have is no one here is willing to take on the task of putting the tournament on.   If anything changes I will post on the website.

What is your eye sight worth?
I just can’t stress how important it is to wear protective eye wear when you play racquetball. No matter how careful you are, accidents do happen.  If you plan to play in any racquetball tournament, you are required to wear USRA approved eye wear. Safety glasses, open goggles, and everyday glasses are not approved USRA eye wear. If you see people playing at your club without proper eye wear, please inform them of the risks. Play safe.
USRA rule on eye wear:

Rule 2.5 APPAREL

  • (a) All players must wear lensed eye wear that has been warranted by its manufacturer or distributor as 1.) designed for use in racquetball and 2.) meeting or exceeding either the full ASTM F803 standard or Canadian (CSA) impact standard. This rule applies to all persons, including those who wear corrective lenses. The eye wear must be unaltered and worn as designed at all times. A player who fails to wear proper eye wear will be assessed a technical foul and a time out to obtain proper eye wear. A second infraction in the same match will result in immediate forfeiture of the match.
  • · (c) Equipment Requirements During Warm-up. Proper eye guards must be worn and wrist cords must be used during any on-court warm-up period. The referee should give a technical warning to any person who fails to comply and assess a technical foul if that player continues to not comply after receiving such a warning.
