Gearbox Sports Named the Official Brand of USA Racquetball

USA Racquetball & Gearbox Sports

USA Racquetball is excited to announce that we have signed a three-year agreement making Gearbox Sports the Official Brand of USA Racquetball. Gearbox has been the Official Racquet of USA Racquetball and is now also the Official Ball. This agreement provides consistent brand support that assists USA Racquetball in conducting a variety of important programs and events across the country and abroad.

“Gearbox has long been a partner of USA Racquetball, including World Outdoor Racquetball, and has become synonymous with championship competition,” said Karen Grisz, USA Racquetball Office of the Executive Director. “Gearbox supports the sport of racquetball in so many ways, and we couldn’t be more pleased to expand our partnership.”

“We are thrilled to amplify our partnership with USA Racquetball,” said Rafael Filippini, CEO and founder of Gearbox Sports. “We built our brand in racquetball, committed to delivering innovative technology to the sport, helping recreational and professional players alike elevate their game. Our ongoing partnership with USAR helps us to continue offering quality racquets and now our ball to players, clubs and events across the country.”

Penn declined to renew its partnership with USA Racquetball, and will also not be renewing its ball contracts with state associations when they expire mid-year 2025. Each state (and, really, each tournament director) can decide which balls to use at their tournaments. Gearbox and Penn have both indicated that they will provide balls for tournaments at wholesale prices. More details will be forthcoming in the coming months on the procedures for ordering tournament balls from either company once the state-level Penn agreements expire.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please contact Karen Grisz via email at ed@usaracquetball.com.
