GET READY FOR NEXT SEASON !

CRA Calendar Released ... Look for your personal copy to be delivered inside the next Rollout, but until then, download a PDF so you can begin planning your season lineup.

This year's theme is "Something for Everyone ... Racquetball" and the poster illustrates all ages and types of play - from juniors and seniors to team and outdoor.

Also featured in one of the calendar photos is Dick Kincade, who recently made a generous donation to the CRA to support its work over the coming year. Many thanks to Dick for thinking of the CRA!

SUCCESSFUL OUTDOOR DEBUT FOR PORTABLE COURT

The 16th Street Mall Clocktower was the perfect setting to showcase the latest portable court and International Racquetball Tour pros. The IRT season opener featured the return of Kane Waselenchuk, who defeated Rocky Carson for the stop win, along with a CRA sanctioned tournament at the Denver Athletic Club. See more video and photos from the special event, and be sure to check ESPN listings for re-broadcasts in November.

CALLING SPONSORED PLAYERS

The CRA maintains a state directory of sponsored players, to give visibility to designated manufacturer reps and enable interested consumers to contact the reps to try out the latest equipment, or schedule a clinic or demo night at their club.

If you're a sponsored player, send an email with your affiliation and public contact information (email & phone). We'll list you on the CRA website, under the programs > Instruction & Play Testing tab.
