The Women's committee thanks everyone who supported the third annual Ladies Night in Houston during National Singles. The reception was a great success in welcoming women back to the sport as well as introducing new ladies into the game.
This year's get-together was enhanced by the presence of several women inductees from the Hall of Fame. Everyone loved how the female pioneers of the game were so gracious in meeting and mingling with first-time National players.

Each year we try to find new ways to entice women to participate at National Singles. A social gathering was our first thought, giving gifts at Ladies Night followed, and giving women more matches was a constant. We’ve accomplished all that, and our wheel is constantly turning. We'll continue to strive for more ideas to grow women’s racquetball, and hope you'll share your thoughts as we move forward.
Please use this area of the USAR website as a vehicle to reach out to us. Whether you are looking for a place to learn or play in a league, we want to help. When we help one person, we're one step closer to achieving our goals.
We welcome anyone interested in helping us grow women’s racquetball. Whether your forte is computer programming, running club programs or simply have excellent social skills, we welcome your input.
