Metro South Athletic Club Junior Racquetball Program - Brockton, MA Looking to get rid of some of your old racquetball equipment? Have you recently upgraded your racquet and would like to donate your old one to a good cause? You can donate extra or old equipment to the future of Massachusetts Racquetball. Email Ralph Grillone (rcgrillonejr@statestreet.com) or Rob VanSchalkwyk (vanschalkwykr@hotmail.com) for information on donating equipment to Junior Racquetball in Massachusetts or send your racquetball equipment to the Metro South Junior Program directly: Metro Fitness Club c/o Ralph Grillone 85 Liberty Street Brockton, MA 02301 The Junior program started by Metro South has been a big hit, with as many as 23 juniors at the first clinic. More are signing up and some have never played before. Equipment is needed to help this program out, from racquets to eye guards, and anything will be appreciated. Hopefully, we can give each junior a chance to step on the court and develop the passion for the sport that I see at every tournament in Massachusetts. If you do not have any equipment, but would still like to help this program out, please email Ralph or Rob in how you can help out Junior Racquetball. - Rob VanSchalkwyk, Vice-President (MRA) |

Courtney Chisholm With one day of play left at Arizona State University in Tempe, Courtney Chisolm has claimed one title of World Champion in Girl's 14 & Under Doubles. Courtney and her partner Devon Pementelli claimed the title winning all four of their matches in the round robin format. They closed it out with a convincing victory over Mexico. Today Courtney plays in the Girls 14 & Under Finals for Singles against Mexico's Maria Jose Vargas. She advanced to the finals with a win over Bolivai's Paulina Estrada 15-8, 15-10. Hopefully she will play on Court #1 at 3:45 ET (12:45 in AZ), in which case you can watch her go for her second World Championship Title in as many days. Go to www.globall.tv Also, the USA is in tight competition for the title of World Champions in the Mens and Overall scoring. The USA has six head-to-head matches with Mexico throughout the final day of competition. Word from the team is that this is the best position the team has been to claim a World Championship in the past (6) years. |
