Our Values
In contributing to a strong and vibrant Albertan sport system, the Alberta Racquetball Association is committed to being an accountable and effective organization by promoting and living the following values in our work and through our actions:
Sportsmanship: We promote an attitude of sportsmanship, whereby the goal is not simply to win, but to have fun and give one's best effort in the pursuit of victory.
Respect: We foster an environment of respect, striving for equal opportunities and maintaining policies that are free from discrimination or bias.
Community: We support the development of the racquetball community at large by encouraging mentorship and facilitating program involvement.
Leadership: We develop athlete leaders, who lead by example, inspire others to excel and contribute to meaningful change where they live, work and play.
Our Partners
Our partnerships with coaches, league directors, club managers, volunteers and Racquetball Canada support the programs offered in Alberta. Through our funders - the Tourism & Sport Ministry of the Alberta Government and the Alberta Liquor & Gaming Commission the Alberta Racquetball Association serves the needs of racquetball players throughout the Province.
Volunteers
Each year, individuals from across the Province contribute their time and talent to support every aspect of our operation and in a variety of capacities. From organizing tournaments to running leagues, coaching, officiating and taking shifts at our bi-annual Casino nights, to participating on the board and committees, our volunteers are the strength of our organization. And we THANK YOU!
