He Wants To Play When 100

The 33rd annual World Senior Racquetball tournament is over.

The event,  held in Albuquerque, drew some 180 players. The youngest was perhaps mid 30s. There were many folks who were over 50.  The ones I admired most were thiose who were over 80. And there were a few who were in their nineties.

Yes, nineties. And several were spryer than some 70-something-year-olds.

The local media did great stories about the ninety-year-olds. One was of them was quoted as saying he wanted to be playing in the World Senior Racquetball Tournament when he turns 100. This energetic guy might well make it.

Is it the racquetball that keeps the 95-year old running across the court? I think so.

This guy plays a couple times a week. He plays in a tournament held in the Phoenix area in the fall that is only for men over eighty. There is quite the turnout for this event.

We racquetball players need to work at being sure our courts are maintained for as long as we continue to play, even if it is until we reach 100.

One is never too old to learn to play racquetball. One is never too old to get on the court and hit the ball.

Just keep the 95-year old who wants to play at 100 in mind. He’s a great role model.
