There are new players coming into the sport of racquetball every day in the United States. As a fast and fairly young sport, it has earned the respect of virtually every athlete yearning for a full body training venue. In fact, the sport has grown from 50,000 in 1968 to over 12 million today. The International Racquetball Federation is now recognized by the Olympic Committee and hosts contests in over 90 countries.
And in 1996, the sport welcomed the first ever Jamaican International Racquetball Team... and this athletic competition will never be the same again.

Jamaica has always been known for it's excellence in sugar canes, vacation hot spots and it's athletes. And now, those fun loving, calypso dancing, hand clapping Caribbean based life forms are bringing a whole new dimension to this high speed game of strategy, strength and raw power. The key players on this team have already accumulated significant experience in the art of winning with 90% of the team bringing home medals from international competitions.

Team organizer John F. Edwards has placed all team members on a strict and rigid training program involving continuous reggae music, spicy jerk food, coconut juice and a consistent use of the response, "no problem mon."
Following on the heals of the Jamaican Bobsled Team, the team enjoys coming into this American dominated sport as an underdog. Already developed are the new uniforms, team slogan and even their very own song.
Just think ...first bobsledding and now racquetball. What are these guys going to dominate next?!?

The Jamaica National Racquetball Team is goverened by the Jamaica Racquetball Federation (JRF). The JRF is charged with supporting Jamaican racquetball athletes, including their training and performance as well as the perpetuation and instruction of the sport of racquetball to all ages and income.  The JRF is officially sanctioned by the Jamaica Olympic Association and the International Racquetball Federation.
