Juniors UPDATE

–Dan Davis
ecently, Adam Katz, who has been running the Juniors Program for Colorado, has informed us that he is going to concentrate on Jeremy’s Journey and he is also going to be moving out of the country next summer. This means that we will have to try to replace him. He has been spending a lot of time with the juniors, the national junior board, and the USA Racquetball Board. (I wish he liked racquetball!) Marcia Richards, Dick Barden and I met to discuss this dilemma. If the sport of racquetball is to continue in the state of Colorado, this will have to be done with the members of the CRA. No one else cares enough to keep the sport alive. The clubs don’t care (look at the number of courts we are losing), the recreational players who just come in to hit the ball believe they don’t know much about racquetball but have fun on the court. So it is up to each member/player in the CRA to help. The states that have successful programs have college, high school, and junior programs going all of the time. The State of Oregon has over 600 players in their high school program alone. Ture Nycum has volunteered to work with the college program and is currently working with CU and trying to get CSU and UNC interested. DU has two courts and some interest; Pueblo has a very serious program and team already. Ture needs all the help he can get. continued on next page...
PRESIDENTS CORNER–
“Together We Can Make a Difference”
A
–Marcia Richards, CRA President
s the current CRA call to action, this slogan combines many different aspects of our goals this coming season. Each year, the CRA counts on its members to rally together for a number of common causes and to use our collective enthusiasm to help others while we enjoy our favorite sport. Here are a few of the projects that we all support year-round: The annual Racquet for the Cure Tournament (February 4 through 5, 2005) raises money for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which funds breast cancer research and underwrites many important direct services for breast cancer victims and survivors. Without the aid of many Colorado players who donate their time and talent, as well as their hard-earned cash, this event could not happen. The second event on the CRA schedule is the “Fun Tournament” (now known as the CAC Championships) (March 17 through 20, 2005), which is another benefit event that raises funds for the Children’s Foundation (CASA). There are many different chapters and the targeted chapter is the Advocates For Children in Aurora. Again, many people volunteer their time and effort to make this event fun for participants, while collecting money that goes toward making a difference in a child’s life.

More recently, and more immediately, “Jeremy’s Journey” has been organized to raise money to help our fellow player, Jeremy Lanosga. Many of you remember Jeremy’s rapid rise in the junior ranks just last season, and were heartbroken to hear of his hiking accident in Garden of the Gods last May, which confined him to a wheelchair as a quadriplegic. This season, the CRA is organizing refereeing clinics to help our members better understand the rules and become more proficient at officiating – and at the same time, help Jeremy’s Journey by donating all the fees collected. There are also a number of other individual fundraisers being developed to help Jeremy, and the CRA supports each and every one of them.
Marcia has Colorado Academy and Mullen students interested and I am currently trying to get Regis kids interested in competition. We need ideas, help, and interest to get the high school program going.
For Jeremy, who has touched so many of our lives – before and after his accident – his ordeal has moved many people to want to help. Here are a few more ways to make a difference in this young man’s life: a major project is underway to remodel his family home to make it wheelchair-accessible. Spearheaded by Eddie Meredith in Colorado Springs, this project can use your help in construction, painting, or donating furniture. Contact Eddie at EddieMeredith@earthlink.net for guidance on how you can take part. Another individual fundraiser is “on the road” with Woody Clouse, whose mission this season is to donate $.50 for every point he scores in every tournament he plays locally or nationally. You can challenge Woody to maximize his point earnings by filling out a pledge sheet (downloadable from the CRA website) and agreeing to match every point Woody scores with your own donation to Jeremy’s Journey [see details at www.andrushcourt.com]. The CRA is now in charge of the January 6 through 9 tournament and has turned this event into a fundraiser for Jeremy. Come join Woody and others help make a difference in his life.
The FUTURE of RACQUETBALL NEEDS YOU!
At each and every club, YMCA, wherever there are courts, we need to have a program for kids and adults. The private clubs with courts are interested in getting programs going if their cost is low. I tell our club that, “I am training your future members”. They are happy to help as much as they possibly can. YMCAs are interested in filling up courts, keeping kids busy, and parents happy. The biggest problem is that no one is promoting racquetball at many of these places. We need some instructors who will work with the kids on the court, we need organizers to help put programs together, we need some people to help start some parents groups to support kids programs, and we need some players to ask questions about juniors programs, high school programs, and college programs just to get them started. We need people just to oversee these programs and make suggestions. We need everyone.
Every person has at least one skill or just a little bit of time that we need to help make these programs work. Please ask what you can do to help our sport grow. The alternative is that we lose all of the courts and have nowhere to play! You can contact me via the www.coloradoracquetball.com website. Emails addressed to the CRA regarding junior programs will be routed to me and I’ll contact you as soon as I can. “Carmody Junior Clinic” – West Side Family RB Clinic, story page 7

Excerpt: “37 Secrets from the Pro Tour” –Jo Shattuck, LPRA Pro Player
Secret Number 24 – Short Stroke in Front Court:
W
e’ve all been taught to get square to the side wall as we hit a shot, but what if you don’t have time? You don’t want to miss an offensive opportunity. When you are in the front court and a ball is coming at you, you won't have time to step, get square and follow through like you can on a setup shot. This is the time to use a short stroke or a ‘snap’ stroke. Your feet will stay facing the front wall, racquet tip must not drop AT ALL, and keep the butt of the racquet pointed down to the floor. You will use only your hips and shoulders to ‘snap’ the racquet to the ball. It works great for a re-kill or pass from the front court. You won’t have much of a follow-through, and you will be ready for the next shot.
You can find more of the “37 Secrets” at www.racquetballacademy.com. Also, check out the “Racquetball in the Rockies” – Luxury Camp, March 4 through 7, with Jo the Pro and Derek Robinson, in that house in Breckenridge we’ve all been hearing about.

CRA 30th Anniversary –
State Singles Nostalgia
A
–Cindy Tilbury
nniversaries provide the perfect opportunity to look back in time, and the 30th anniversary of the CRA State Singles tournament was no exception. Not only did John Foust lend us his fabulous set of historical photographs for our Nostalgia table, but he also provided old copies of the Rollout for some light reading. Of special note was a picture of Travis Parrill at about 12 years old — glad you stuck with it, Travis. For a little extra fun, tournament participants could enter a couple of extra events—the oldest racquet, the oldest shirt, and playing in a special bracket using the two oldest racquets. Congratulations to April Settell for beating Steve Nelson, playing the last match of the weekend with the small wooden racquets from the 1960s. That oldest racquet was provided by Jerry Webb, and the brand, Addoin, was one we didn’t quite remember. Mike Cole was an unwitting winner of the oldest shirt contest when he just happened to be playing his matches in a shirt from a 1980s tournament. He had one even older in his bag, ready for his next match.
Several people requested copies of photographs from John Foust, as they found people they knew in them. The photos and Rollouts are available through the CRA, if you’d like to look over the golden days of Colorado racquetball.

Jeremy’s Journey... Back to Colorado Springs
M
LockerRoomTALKby Dr. Splat
–Jean Gallagher
ost of you have heard about 17-year-old Jeremy Lanosga, the up-and-coming junior player who took a tragic fall at the Garden of the Gods last May. Most of what has been written has been from the community, trying to keep you posted about his accident and recovery. Now that Jeremy has had a chance to get a grip on his condition, I sat down with him for a private interview before he was released from Craig Hospital for his trip home to Colorado Springs. I asked questions that were hard to answer, and some that didn’t have answers. Many of his replies shape the complete reality about the rest of his life. Who is this young man? Before the accident, Jeremy was a very active player, with plenty of talent. When I first met him, oh … I guess he was probably refereeing one of my matches. He was soft-spoken, quiet and all of 14. You’d see him at tournaments; always working on his game, watching and learning from higher level players and playing up a division to challenge his skills. I think he was playing Men’s C, along with his junior age-division events, when I first noticed him. He was kind of lanky; a tall skinny kid trying to figure out where his arms and legs were in relation to the rest of his body. Then it was summer, when people take some time off from racquetball until the season rolls around again. In the fall you notice the changes, particularly in the juniors. They’d grown a foot, become coordinated somehow and suddenly begun to kick your butt on the court!
❏ In that regard, long-time RB organizer Marianne Alonzi has resurfaced on the west side of town organizing events for Ken Caryl Ranch Recreation Center and the Carmody Center. She’s been a tireless organizer of RB events through the years; good to have her back on track. ❏ Question of the month:
One year, not only had Jeremy grown a bunch, but I noticed he’d shaved his head! Reason? He did it for “Locks,” a program to donate hair to kids who have cancer and are in need of wigs. Jeremy’s hair wasn’t long enough to help with a wig, but he did it anyway, as a show of support for the group. Locally, he was always volunteering to ref at tournaments. I thought it was just to earn money, but he was doing it to learn more about the game. What better way to observe shots and strategy first-hand, plus learn the rules, than to ref match after match after match? Some of you remember him from Nationals, where he refereed just about every match he could so he could pay his own tournament expenses, plus save up for the next big event. Need a ref? Jeremy was your man! When he wasn’t playing racquetball, he loved to rock climb and take photos. He belonged to a local photo club and entered a competition to take pictures of the courthouse. His photographs were judged by a jury and they were eventually chosen to be displayed at the Pioneer Museum in Colorado Springs. The photos now belong to the museum. He was rock-climbing to take photos when he suffered his fall. Imagine waking up in a hospital bed, unable to move an inch of your body. Not because someone told you not to, but because your nerves couldn’t make a connection from your brain to your hands or legs. Jeremy doesn’t remember much about the fall. “I rode my bike to the Garden of the Gods, started climbing and didn’t catch the sunrise before dark, so I took some shots anyway and started climbing back down. The last thing I remember was standing at about 50 feet from the ground. I don’t remember how I fell, or falling, but I do remember grabbing a bush at some point.” continued on next page...

❏ Lynmar Racquet Club is undergoing some changes. Eddie Meridith is no longer directing the racquetball programs for the club. This ultimately led to the cancellation of the Fall Lynmar Racquetball Classic. That’s a shame. The club has a reputation of holding solid events which were well organized, with hospitality and awards that all could appreciate. Here’s hoping whatever direction the club takes, that tradition will go forward. In the meantime – thanks Eddie, you did a good job.
Has anyone figured out why they received that absolutely horrible poster of Marty Hogan? Not only was it a bad poster, but it was a part-time job just to get it out of the tube. Seriously, couldn’t that money be used for something slightly more functional? Maybe a fur-lined sink for my house?
❏ On a completely non-related issue. Is there a nicer, more dependable, professional player than Derek Robinson? I say not. He’s donated time to the CAC / Junior program, given a million clinics, and is just an all-in-all good person. Here’s hoping all the work he does to promote the sport translates in to continued on-court success. Few deserve it more than him. ❏ Don’t panic – the Colorado
Racquet Company is still up and running. It may look like a fishing store took over, but the retail space was sub divided to hold both stores. Located at 64th and Wadsworth, it’s still the place to buy RB equipment locally (along with the expert racquet repair). Internet pricing generally applies. New store number, 303-422-4540.
❏ USA Racquetball’s loss has been the CRA’s gain. Linda Mojer has been doing a great job working with the CRA board and promoting Colorado Racquetball. Another example of someone who has dedicated countless hours in our behalf.

Mini Lesson from the Coach –

The Mirror Drill
He doesn’t remember the rescue, only what people have told him. He was told that three rescuers were injured trying to get him down the rest of the 20 feet to ground level. He was in the ICU for ten days, and four days in recovery. During this time, his first recollection was of installing the halo, a device used to immobilize the vertebrae during the healing process. After being transferred to Craig Hospital, the finest in the country for spinal cord and brain injuries, he was immediately put into physical and occupational therapy, once a day for both. His days began at 8:00 am when an aide would help him shower and get dressed. He needs assistance to eat and his manual therapist would visit daily to massage the muscles in his neck to increase his range of motion. Otherwise, he’d just hang out. “I can tell when nobody has stopped by to visit by the amount of boredom. I do a lot of hanging out.” Keep an eye at www.coloradoraquetball.com for updates and events related to “Jeremy’s Journey”.
West Side Family Racquetball Clinic

n Saturday, August 21st, Ken Caryl Ranch Recreation Center hosted their first Free Family Racquetball Clinic. On hand for the festivities were the following CRA Board members: Marcia Richards, Dan Davis, Adam Katz and Steve Nelson. IRT Pro, Derek Robinson, conducted the clinic for the juniors in attendance and a great time was had by all. Each participant went home with sharpened skills, prizes and autographed memorabilia, compliments of Big D and WILSON RACQUETBALL. As the newly-appointed Racquetball Program Director coordinating the event, I’d like to give special thanks to Becky Hummel, Ken Caryl Facility Manager.
Juniors in attendance: Kira & Kevin Kalkos, Ryan Nelson, Campbell, Peyton and Railee Zantop-Zimlinghaus, and Ethan & Emily Robinson.

❏ Best bet for top junior player in Colorado?
Has to be Adam Manilla of the Colorado Athletic Club / Aurora. Adam has the poise and ability of someone far beyond his 9 years. Fundamentally sound, good attitude, and a student of the game. Beat him now. It’s going to become much more difficult as time goes by.
❏ Looking to play in the Legends Tournament at the Highline YMCA?
You might want to make alternate plans. As of this writing, it’s sounding more and more like it won’t be happening--at least not in January. Contact tournament director Woody Clouse for more information.
❏ State Doubles at the CAC / Aurora?
How can that be? As most of you know, tournaments there are generally a “referee your own situation.” Barring unforeseen circumstances that wouldn’t be the case in the future. A joint venture with the CRA and club management should result in a new microphone system. The referee-yourown method has served the club well for a number of years. Here’s hoping good sportsmanship doesn’t get lost just because there’s a referee at the helm.
❏ A big hand for the CRA board for all their work. Has it been perfect? Probably not. Have they done a good job in an ever-changing climate? Yes they have. It’s a dog-eat-dog world, and they’ve been wearing milk bone underwear.

t most clubs, there is a space with large mirrors. It can be the aerobics room or cycling room or even a glass court. Position yourself so you can practice your swing without a ball and watch yourself in the mirror. If you are unfamiliar with the correct swing pattern, then look at someone else’s and make mental notes to yourself (the racquet prep, the swing, the contact point, and the follow-through). You can also look at Racquetball Magazine and take mental notes. When positioning yourself, start by facing the mirror and you end up with one side facing the mirror on the follow-through. When using the glass back wall of a court, you can see your image in the glass using the sidewall as the front wall. Be sure to practice both the forehand and backhand. Also stop your stroke at each key point to check your body position. Check points: (1) the backswing or racquet prep position is with the elbow high and even with the shoulder. You can use Sudsy’s check point of the belly button pointing into the back corner; (2) the swing should be level as if you are swinging your racquet along a bench or coffee table; (3) the contact point is off the front foot with the elbow straight and the racquet in line with your wrist and elbow; and, (4) the follow-through--both legs are in a 90-degree bend with the shoulders facing the front wall. You are balanced and the racquet travels through the stroke at the level of the swing. Do this drill in slow motion and in fast motion. This will develop muscle memory so you can establish what it feels like and what it looks like to hit the ball using the proper motion.
