Shifting Our Focus to 2021
Hello Indiana Racquetball Friends and Family!
As many of you are already aware, racquetball courts are cautiously re-opening across the state of Indiana. This is great news and we at INSRA are excited to join all of you in returning to active play of the sport we all love!
However, many facilities, in an effort to comply with state regulations and social distancing guidelines, are not yet operating at full capacity. Most facilities have either temporarily repurposed some of their courts, are only offering singles play through the end of the year, or have otherwise limited the number of players that may gather in the courts or common areas.
Sadly, these precautions have impacted the Indiana schedule of events through the end of the year. Racquets for Rescues, the Lifetime/Gearbox and Great Pumpkin shootouts, and the Players Cup have all been cancelled for 2020.
As a result, we at INSRA are now shifting our focus to 2021 and creating the best event schedule possible! Our facilities are willing and eager to partner with us in the new year provided the pandemic cooperates. If you are interested in hosting an event in 2021, please contact us to reserve your date on the schedule now.
Additionally, now is a great time to consider joining the INSRA Board as we start mobilizing for next year. If you’re looking to make a difference and would like to join a team I know will be creating a great 2021, please reach out to any board member. We’d love to have you onboard!
In the interim, please take advantage of any courts available in your area to get “back in the swing” of things. And don’t forget to thank those facility directors for keeping courts open and available while we all work to stay safe and healthy.
Looking forward to catching up on a court near you soon!
Sincerely,
Laura Pesek
INSRA President
Benefits of Racquetball
Strengthens Body and Mind!
Racquetball fitness helps you move better, feel better, think better! Works all muscle groups. Improves focus, quick decision making, reaction times, and provides down time from all those day-to-day stresses.
Burns Fat and Calories
In one hour of racquetball, a player burns up to 600-800 calories and runs up to 2 miles!
Improves Balance and Coordination
It takes anticipation, strategic thinking, quickness, nimble footwork AND PRACTICE to be ready where the ball is going to be!
Improves Your Social Life!
You’re only one game away from a good mood and new friends!
A Sport for Everyone!
Young
Racquetball, like other sports: teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose, it teaches you about life. JUST PLAY AND HAVE FUN!
Men
Racquetball works the core, the lower body (running and footwork), upper body (racquet control and hitting). Improves strategic thinking, power, endurance.
Women
Strengthens bone and muscle, slows bone loss. Aerobic and anaerobic benefits. Improves reaction times and strategy, flexibility, coordination, stamina.
Senior
Never underestimate older people who play racquetball! It promotes heart health, clarity of thinking, better hand-eye coordination and reflexes, and fewer falls with age.
