Get ready to witness history in the making at the National Outdoor Racquetball Championships presented by ProKennex. The anticipation is at an all-time high as the dynamic duo of Kane Waselenchuk and Team Dovetails’ Rocky Carson reunite after an uncommon two-year separation, thanks to the generous support of KWM Gutterman.

Feel the adrenaline as these titans of racquetball prepare to face off against a fierce lineup of Men's Pro veterans. From returning champions Josh Tucker and Brandon Davis to determined challengers Micah Rich, Jason Geis, Chris McDonald, and Brian Pineda, the competition is set to be intense. Don't count out dark horse contenders Danny Lavely and Greg Solis, who are ready to crash the party and shake up the tournament.

But the excitement doesn't stop there - the Women's Pro division is wide open for the taking, with the possible pairing of Beach Bash Champions Michelle Key / Katie Neils in a bid to capture more LPL Financial / LPRT Cup points. And in the CPRT division, all eyes are on defending champions Josh Tucker and Greg Solis, with Tony Burg and Scott St. Clair eagerly waiting for their shot at glory.

With just two weeks left until the deadline to register, now is the time to seize your chance to be a part of the 50th Anniversary celebration of this iconic event. And with plans in motion to revamp Marina Park and potentially rebuild only six courts, this is a “Don’t Miss” opportunity to experience the Granddaddy of Outdoor tournaments firsthand. Be a part of something truly special - sign up now and join us in making history at the National Outdoor Racquetball Championships.
