Hello NY State Racquetball Players,
This racquetball season (July 2009- June 2010) proved to be a difficult scheduling challenge. Tournament dates continued to be refined up through late December. Our State Calendar was repeatedly put on hold for printing as event dates shuffled around. The Calendar of NY Racquetball Events is complete and you can download it now.
As some of you have heard, the AmPro Program is being redeveloped by the USAR. There is much concern by instructors who are current under the old AmPro Program and how they will be treated going forward in the revised instructor program. I can tell you that as an AmPro Instructor myself I am watching this develop and I have the current instructors interests at heart. NYRA will have one of the first new program clinics as soon as the course outlines are finalized. This date will be announced in early 2010.
The USAR has assured me that by the end of 2009 all their backlogged tournament results and memberships will be through the system. If you’re having an issue with your new or renewed membership from September through December, don’t hesitate to

so I can get it worked out. We have very detailed records. |

If you haven't noticed, we've added a couple of little buttons on the left side of the screen. I finally got around to putting in features that I've wanted to see on the state site for years: a club finder and an improved event calendar. Finally my time and the technology were both available and good things happened. Feel free to stop by the forum and comment on things you think would improve the usefulness of this site. Also feel free to submit your club information. Oh, and Happy New Years. It promises to be a great year for racquetball. |

Coming up in 2010 is a clinic series taught by Jim Winterton, including three that are sponsored by your state association and free for USAR members. Jim will be all over the state, sharing his expertise with racquetball players. Check out some Jim Winterton instructional videos here. See if he's coming to your area on our brand new event calendar. Finally, sign up or find out more information about the clinics at Jim's racquetworld-sponsored clinic page. |
