Doubles Season Is Upon Us

In the winter, racquetball courts fill up as outdoor play winds down.  To energize players in these more crowded conditions, doubles tournaments bloom.  Between November and February, states will hold their state doubles championships, regions will hold their regional championships, and the US National Doubles Championship will also be held.

December 11-13, 2015
Georgia State Doubles Championship at Emory University

January 29-31, 2016
Regional Doubles Championship at Recreation ATL

February 10-14, 2016
USRA National Doubles Championship at Arizona State University
