To all supporters of the 2007 USA Junior National Team:
On behalf of the Junior Council, Head Coach Kelley Beane and her staff, and the players and families of the juniors who competed in Bolivia, I would like to thank all of you for making it possible for the team to go to the World Championships. The contributions from the state associations, individual and corporate donors were so greatly appreciated- we could not have done it without each and every one of you!!!
As you may know, our boys team won the Boys World Team title for the first time since 2001. The team was led by gold medal victories by Jose and Marco Rojas in the boys 16 and 14 singles respectively. The girls team finished 3rd; overall the USA team finished 2nd to Mexico.
In my conversations with many of you last year, the overwhelming support for the kids in this great sport was phenomenal! We look forward to bright futures for these young players in racquetball – whether they are elite level players or beginners – they like us have found the joys of racquetball and thus have found a sport for life!
Once again, thank you all so much for your generosity! For more information on junior racquetball, please check our website www.USAJUNIORRACQUETBALL.com.
