Welcome to the 2008-2009 WCRC Racquetball season.
Our first tournament has recently been confirmed ...
Saturday, October 25, 2008
San Jose State University
Read up about the conference and past tournaments at
http://www.WCRCRacquetball.org
Spread the word ...
More details soon,
-John Bardos
Wanted to check -- will we be using the Ektelon Classic (black) ball
at the tournaments this year?
I believe the CSRA just switched, and that is now their official ball
-- wasn't sure if we've been
getting balls through them, or directly from mfg to the conference.

I also need address to send insurance certificate.
