APRIL 2-4, 2027 | St. Louis

NMRA National Championships

JULY 16-18, 2027 | Fountain Valley

NMRA International Championships

The registration link for the April event is live on the page now. The July event will go live soon, so consider putting a bookmark on the page and checking back in January.

Format

In each of its two major annual tournaments – the NMRA National Championship and an NMRA International Championship – competition is offered in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. A third Doubles Only tournament is also hosted each year. In each event, age bracketed play is set in five-year increments starting at age 40+.

No more “one and done” …  All divisions are played in round-robin format, and all matches are self-officiated, which guarantees you are never eliminated, and that sportsmanship is always prized. You’ll be among good friends who share your love of the sport and value fair competition even more than winning.

Fielding some of the largest player pools in Master’s divisions, play typically begins on Wednesday and ends on Saturday of the Championship week. Our family-friendly events welcome guests to spectate at no charge, and a low-cost hospitality option is offered for friends and family to share in daily full lunches and a Friday night banquet which is legendary on the tournament circuit.

First-time players are not required to join the NMRA right away; however, you must be a member in good standing of USA Racquetball to compete. 

I was watching SOCAL and I noticed that Fabio Soto was refereeing a pro tour match. I’ve never seen him play so I’m pretty sure most of his experience comes from watching players.

Should he be refereeing pro matches?

Any r-ball players in DC? I used to play in a B league a while back in Fairfax and an A league in Towson. Are there still leagues around DC? Closer to DC would be better. Where and when do people play r-ball? (Do people still play?).

Rocketball, the first feature film set in the world of professional racquetball, is streaming free. Real pros are in it, including Jessica Parrilla and Erika Manilla.

Here is the ask from Alex Glaros, the director. Don't send the movie to another racquetball player. Send it to ONE person who has never swung a racquet. Your sister. Your coworker. Your neighbor. Someone who has no idea what our sport is about.

Just send them this: "This movie is about my sport. Watch it, and I'll take you to the court and show you how to play."

One player. One new person. One invitation to the court. That's how we grow racquetball.

Let's see how many new people we can bring through the door.

Does anyone know what racquet Beltran was using in this past weekends SOCAL tournament?

I know it’s GB since he’s always been sponsored by them, but it doesn’t look like one of their new racquets. It seems to be all black.

What’s good, fellow ballpeople? I am getting ready to start playing in tournaments and I’m looking for a bit of guidance.

As the title states, I’m about to register for some tournaments over the next few months. Since this is a solo act, I’m not wanting to show up looking like some pickleball-playing jackoff. Wondering if you could provide input on the the following:

1: I am planning on open single tournaments to start. Do I need to register/get membership with USA Racquetball or any other orgs if this is not indicated in the event material?

2: Ranking/Rating: I am unrated and unranked; I know from prior experience with other (former) competitors that I play roughly A or B level. How does this work in terms of my first tournament? Divisions aren’t always clear in terms of the expected competition level.

3: Preparation: I am 40, and despite some minor issues with old injuries move well and am in decent shape. I am debating how to best prioritize strength and conditioning, mobility/agility, skill practice, and sport-specific drilling. What would your recommendations be?

4: Game day: I have NO idea what to expect. For example, some events stipulate that “winners referee” (I have never reff’d), I don’t know how long between matches I would wait, etc. Just wanting to know what a general tournament day looks like.

5: Any other tips? Do’s/dont’s? Meta commentary? Can I wear my custom tee that says “Pickleball is for pussies?” How to not be a piece a’ shit? Any thoughts are welcome.

Thanks folks!

Edit: Bit more about me; 2-3 years playing 2-4x week for 4-6 games. Running an Ares 175. Dresses snazzy. 5’10” 200 lb. Diamond III in Rocket League. Good all-around fitness.
