  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)

  MRA Goals for the 2010-2011 Season
Well, all of you players out there, it’s getting to be that time again. Hope you all had a good summer. But now it’s time to get serious! Time to come in out of the sun and into the fluorescent beauty of the racquetball court.
 
And do we have an exciting year in store for you. The MRA board held its first meeting in August to discuss some things to make the upcoming season a great one for all. And what did we come up with?
  1. More play… of course. Yes we are looking to increase our tournament schedule this year by more than 100%. So, what does that mean for you? It means 5 tournaments this year as well as a junior event.
  2. More female players…Yes, that’s right. Let’s get more of you ladies on the courts at tournament time.
  3. A bi-monthly newsletter to keep you all up-to-date on the latest and greatest in our state.
  4. And let’s get our results posted. For those of you with rankings, that means a bigger commitment inmonitoring the USAR tm make sure your results are recognized..
So what d’ya say? Who’s with us... ? Let’s make this our strongest season yet.
 
See ya on the court!
