WHAT’S HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES

We are continuing with our school outreach and community outreach programs. If you have a community event and want to help share the love of racquetball, reach out—we’d love to collaborate.
NEW WEBSITE LAUNCH
A much needed refresh has been undertaken to our online home. In an effort to make everything easier to find we have launched a new website, it includes the following:
• Tournament calendar with registration links • Where to find Leagues and registration links • RO merchandise and gear • Latest news and rankings
A clean, modern look designed to help you stay connected and informed. Check our new home out here
We would like to recognize Jesus Ostos for his exceptional commitment to racquetball. Through his volunteer leadership, Jesus has helped advance our events, support players, and build a stronger, more connected community.
As Jesus transitions out of his volunteer role, we extend our sincere gratitude for his service and wish him all the best in his next chapter.
We can’t wait to see everyone back on the courts. Here’s to an exciting, competitive, and community‑driven season ahead.
Warm regards, Racquetball Ontario
