Who Are We?
The Alberta Racquetball Association's VISION is to make racquetball accessible to all Albertans and to be a national leader in programming, athlete development and good governance.
Our MISSION is to facilitate the participation and enjoyment of racquetball through the delivery of programs, access to resources, the development of coaches & officials and support to clubs & affiliates.
We strive to build a strong future and legacy for racquetball by supporting competitive athletes and fostering life-long participants. We endeavor to increase involvement and accessibility at all levels through promotion, advocacy, and funding.
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.
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, or participating on the board of directors, our volunteers are the strength of our organization.
