Welcome...

...to the webpage of the University of Connecticut Club Racquetball Team. Our tournament-level practices (advanced) are on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 7:00 - 9:00 PM. All practices are held in the Student Recreational Facility of the Storrs campus.

Our team competes in the Eastern Collegiate Racquetball Conference, which hosts four regular season tournaments each academic year and one additional regional tournament at the end of the season. In addition, the team participates in non-collegiate tournaments where players of all ages and skill levels compete.

We are always looking for new players of all skill levels in the UConn community to join us. We are currently an upper-classman dominated club, so under-classmen are encouraged to join. In addition, we are hoping to expand our women's team as well. Feel free to come to the tournament practices Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday practices, and if you have any questions or concerns, click the Contact link above to get in touch with the club officers.

See you on the courts!
