Racquetball weekends

We both played in a number of competitive racquetball tournaments over the years. They usually were weekend long events, playing in multiple brackets, singles and doubles, and hanging out watching the other players for a whole weekend. Some were out of town, some local, and most of them in the winter. We enjoyed good camaraderie with fellow athletes and saw some very good competition. Outside of the state level events, one of the biggest regional events was a Valentine's event in Willmar, MN. That club had a court with two glass walls, so viewing of the final events was excellent. You always knew if you got to play in that court that you were in a good match and did well to get that far. Steve used to play doubles with 3 other big guys, and it was fun to watch them all bounce around the court.
