The Racquetball Crusade

Racquetball is a very special sport that combines athleticism, competitiveness, camaraderie, and a bond that is unique among those who play the sport. The sport is very simple for any beginner (and even children) to play; but at the highest level, racquetball offers intense athletic competition that is thrilling to watch. And best of all, racquetball offers one of the most intensive workouts you can find anywhere. Besides being easy to learn, it increases your cardiovascular endurance, strength, and flexibility. You burn as many as 800 calories an hour when playing.

There are five million people playing racquetball in the United States each year and growing. Action is being taken to help the sport grow and reach new heights. The sport is now expanding worldwide. The future looks very bright for racquetball.

There are a lot of people in the racquetball industry that care deeply about the sport and its future. Little by little people are joining forces to make an even bigger difference in the sport.

On September 17-20, 2009, there will be a Men’s Professional Racquetball Tier One event in Terre Haute, Indiana, that will be a tournament for players by the players, fans, and people who care. All of the top-ranked men’s and women’s professionals will be in attendance to promote our charity event titled “Acing Autism” (or Athletes Against Autism).

This tournament will help raise awareness for autism. Autism is a complex neurobiological disorder that typically lasts throughout a person’s lifetime. Today, 1 in 150 individuals is diagnosed with autism, making it more common than pediatric cancer, diabetes, and AIDS combined. Autism impairs a person’s ability to communicate and relate to others.
