Design & Layout by: TypaGraphics Facebook: Illinois State Racquetball Association | www.illinoisracquetball.com | 3 From the PRESIDENT The most recent Bylaws of the Illinois State Racquetball Association were adopted on January 18, 1989 - over 30 years ago. I have been president of the ISRA for over 22 years and a member of the Board for several years before that. I have been president for a third of my life! And, I was the first female president elected to the position! In addition, while President, I have also been elected to two terms on USA Racquetball’s Board of Directors (including being Treasurer) and have also had the honor of being awarded State President of the Year by USA Racquetball. I really HAVE been immersed in supporting and leading the sport for a very long time! When my ISRA Board position came up for re-election this year, I decided to see how long I had been in the role. When I realized how long it has been, I decided that it is time for a change. I will stay on the Board as Immediate Past President for two more years with my primary focus and passion being on growing the sport and our membership while mentoring the next generation of leaders and Board members who will take our sport forward. Then, and only then, will I retire from the Board. In the meantime, a new president will be elected in September who will help us to move this great sport forward! I’m honored to have represented the current and past racquetball players of Illinois for so long, and my commitment is not changing with the changing of the guard. One of my favorite nights of the year is the night I get to serve as Master of Ceremonies for the ISRA Annual Awards and Hall of Fame inductions. There I get to recognize special people in racquetball – the volunteers, the sponsors, and the best players in our state. That is a night when the history of Illinois rac- quetball is also on stage. Our state has produced some of the best racquetball talent, as well as the best racquetball leadership, in the country. Being ISRA President has been part of my identity for the last 22 years, just as being a corporate banker was part of my identity for 42 years. When I retired from the bank, I felt like I had completely lost my identity, and it was really hard. I know that stepping out of this position will be really hard. In some ways it would be easier to stay, but I want to be a catalyst for helping to grow racquetball again, and I feel that allowing someone else to step into a leadership role, while I play more of a “coaching role,” will help to enable that. We certainly have some really encouraging signs in Illinois. Both of the Pro Tours are well- sponsored and supported by our Illinois player community—we drew over 240 players to the IRT and Shamrock Shootout last year—and we are on target for similar numbers for the LPRT this November. Our Travel League continues as the longest-running racquetball travel league in the country. We have players who competed in the ISRA Travel League as far back as 1974! And, of course, our JTI Initiative is alive and well – with training, tournament participation, Clinics with the Pros and development of the next generation of players! In fact, the ISRA Board recently voted to increase the annual TJ Ferro Junior Scholarship Award up to $500 annually due to the fundraising efforts of our racquetball community. I’m looking forward to being part of this excitement and helping to grow our sport over the next several years! I would like to thank my loyal board members, our sponsors, and all of the players in the State of Illinois for their support over the years. My best friends are the friends I made through racquet- ball and without them, I wouldn’t have been able to do this job. I love you all, and while my role will change, I’m not going anywhere, except to work more on my backhand! 4 | www.illinoisracquetball.com | Facebook: Illinois State Racquetball Association ISRA Family News 2018-2019 Men’s Travel League Sad News for the Illinois Racquetball Family The 2018-2019 season was an exciting one for the ISRA Travel Raymond Markus, 89, passed League.

  • Racquetball Packet # 18
    RACQUETBALL PACKET # 18 INSTRUCTIONS This Learning Packet has two parts: (1) text to read and (2) questions to answer. The text describes a particular sport or physical activity, and relates its history, rules, playing techniques, scoring, notes and news. The Response Forms (questions and puzzles) check your understanding and appreciation of the sport or physical activity. INTRODUCTION Racquetball is a relatively new game which continues to grow in popularity. It can be played competitively or simply for fun and relaxation. HISTORY OF THE GAME Racquetball is an offshoot of the game of tennis. It’s tempting to make comparisons between the two sports but we have to be careful not to be misleading! According to many pros, excelling in one of the racquet sports does not necessarily guarantee top performance in another. Racquetball is a young sport, having originated in the United States in the 1950s. Although it is strenuous and physically challenging, it does not entail chasing balls all over a court. But like tennis, it does require both supe- rior physical dexterity as well as the ability to strategize quickly and effectively. HOW RACQUETBALL IS PLAYED BASIC RULES Racquetball can be played alone, against one opponent as a singles game, or with four Physical Education Learning Packets #18 Racquetball Text © 2008 The Advantage Press, Inc. players as a doubles game. In racquetball, the first team or player to score 21 points (or to score 11 points if the opposing players remain scoreless) wins. A match is won by the first side to win two games. The server or serving side tries to win each volley by serving or returning the ball so that the opposition is not able to keep the ball in play.
