The 2008 USA Racquetball NW Regional Championships will feature three special Junior events this year:  18 and under Open, 18 and under A/B, and 18 and under C/D.

See the official Entry Form for more details.

The 2007 - 2008 Oregon Racquetball season schedule has been updated over on the Schedule page.  The dates have been set for match play in each of the three racquetball organizations in Oregon; ORA, OJRA, and OHSRL.

Head on over, and check it out!

Organizing and running the OJRA is a lot of fun, but also requires a lot of time and commitment.  Like most organizations, the OJRA relies fully on volunteer efforts.  The OJRA Board Members (Ed Boyle, Annette Knoth, Bruce Reid, and Angie Henderson) have each been deeply involved with the OJRA for 4-6 years.  The OJRA is actively seeking parent volunteers to organize/perform the following tournament tasks:

• Tournament Food
• Tournament Medals
• Digital Photos

We could use volunteers to organize food, medals and take digital photos, for one or more of the OJRA tourney during the 2006-07 season.  Please contact Bruce Reid at breid@tcco.com if you could help out.
