I have a loyalty and love for racquetball that has remained strong over the 20 years Ive been playing as an amateur. Serving on the USRA board would afford me an opportunity to work with others to promote our sport. I am interested in working to see racquetball achieve Olympic competition status and in working very hard to see racquetball grow on a grass roots level. John

I am a co-founder of the California Amateur Racquetball Association, which sanctions almost 100 tournaments per year, and have served on the board since 1984. I have filled a number of offices, including two terms as president. Presently I keep the player rankings, which includes over 5,000 entries, and act as Commissioner of Rules and Officiating, conducting clinics for certification of officials. I believe that my many years of service on the board of the largest state association will serve well if I am elected to the USRA board. In the retail business I own and operate RacquetBall Plus, the pro shop at Royal Athletic Club in Burlingame, CA. I would like to be elected to the board so that I can help direct the USRA toward further involvement with grass roots programs. I believe that more programs should be instituted in the clubs and YMCAs because that is where the major number of USRA amateur members are. I also believe that programs should be developed to bring recreational and club league players into the USRA. If elected, I pledge to continue my commitment to our great sport on the national level and become a voice for the age division players, men and women. Ron

My qualifications rest with my long time association with racquetball both as a player and club owner. I have been afforded the opportunity to see racquetball from different views. One view has allowed me to look at this sport through the eyes of a recreational and competitive player. I have been involved in tournaments and league play throughout the United States. In 1996, I was able to travel to Japan to participate on the International level. I am also quite active at my own club, playing 3-4 times a week. As a club owner, my business connections in the industry have given me the chance to see racquetball through the eyes of the club management professionals, club members and general public. It is this view that I believe is most important to the sport. As a board member, my goal would be to see how racquetball needs to improve its fit in the health and fitness industry. Clubs like mine are our main resource and we need to look at what is needed to strengthen our position in clubs and with club members. I want to lend my club experience to the blueprint of racquetballs future. Thank you for your consideration and if you need anything further please do not hesitate to contact me at my business (816) 228-2722 or home (816) 229-1300. |
