$500 Award Deadline Extended to April 11 – USA Racquetball Junior National Festival and Championships
by Brian Dixon
Opportunities like this do not come around every day. That is why we have extended the deadline for the five $500 awards to assist in attending the USA Racquetball Junior National Festival and Championships. We want to ensure we can limit players not attending simply because of cost. The new deadline is April 11, giving more players a chance to be part of this incredible experience and letting us know what this would mean to you and your family.
This event is not just about racquetball. It is about creating lifelong memories, forging friendships, and experiencing something special. Whether you are a seasoned player or starting, you are welcome. Every level of skill is celebrated. Every participant belongs.
This year, the tournament will take place at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis from June 25 through 29. Beyond the competition, Minneapolis offers so much to explore. There is something for everyone, from the world-famous Mall of America to the breathtaking Minnehaha Falls. You can walk along the Mississippi River, visit the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden to see the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry, or even step into music history at Paisley Park. Many lodging options are near the gym, with the host hotel a short walk away. The block at the host hotel is limited, so get your spot today. See the info (at the Learn More link below) site for the hotel link as well as VRBO and Airbnb links.
This event is about more than just the game. It is about the excitement of stepping onto the court. It is about cheering for friends, meeting new people, and building confidence with every match. It is about coming home with stories to tell and experiences that will last a lifetime. Many players go home after the event and become ambassadors of the game, sharing their love of the game, which can include getting articles in the local papers and news broadcasts.
The application takes just a few minutes, and the deadline is approaching fast. Just let us know what difference the $500 could make. Let us know what racquetball means to you.
