World Outdoor Racquetball (WOR) is the parallel universe to the traditional sport of racquetball played by millions in clubs throughout the country.

Military Racquetball Federation is dedicated to promoting racquetball programs and events for our service members here and abroad including support of events for our troops in warzones. Additionally the MRF is committed to assisting Wounded Warriors with their rehabilitation using a new MRF program called Racquetball Rehabilitation Clinics (RRC). This program's focus is the use of racquetball as rehabilitation for both the physical and mental challenges suffered from combat.

MRF is a 501(c) (3) tax-deductible corporation run and staffed exclusively by volunteers.

Welcome North Carolina Racquetball Players to the online sign up site for the 2012 NCRA State Singles Championships. This event will take place Friday, March 23^rd - Sunday, March 25^th in the college/beach city of Wilmington, NC.

Good News!!! THE RANKINGS ARE FINALLY POSTED.  We finally have the North Carolina State Ranking System updated.  We apologize for the delay.  For you technical people we had an issue with the website being converted to a 64 bit Operating System and our ranking database was at a 32 bit and never got converted.  Plus we had a size limitation which we got quickly resolved.

Thank you all for being patient.

A “FREE” online Referee Test is available. The online Referee Test will be required for National High Schools, Intercollegiate and will be encouraged for National Doubles. You can take the test by logging into your USRA Membership Profile.

The State Awards are here.  Please send your nominations to Debbie Bryant dbryant@ncracquetball.com by March 1st of this year.  The State Awards are given to the players and contributors who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in competition, leadership or sportsmanship during the last twelve months.  The Player's Skill Level does not matter.  We are also looking at Hall of Fame players (who has given to the sport of racquetball over a protracted period of time and championed the sport of racquetball in our State).
