2011 UK-Racketball Series

The Harrow UK-Racketball Series is the premier tournament series for racketball in the UK. In 2011 UK-Racketball will be running 8 tournaments hosted at some of the most prestigious clubs in the country. All the tournaments are sanctioned by England Squash and Racketball and have grade 1.5 statuses. This will allow participants to claim ranking points towards their National UK racketball ranking. To help increase participation at all levels of the sport UK-Racketball will be introducing a new beginners category for those players who have just started the sport.

New for 2011

Beginners grade – At UK-Racketball we are really keen to see the sport grow at all levels. That is why for 2011 we have introduced a beginners grade. The beginners category will have a reduced entry fee and only trophy prises to allow competition in a fun and relaxed environment.

Women’s Grade – UK-Racketball has introduced a ladies only grade which will be run at every event alongside the other categories.

Prizes from the brand new 2011 Harrow racketball range – The UK-Racketball Series will have the same main title sponsor as last year, Harrow who will again be supplying top rackets this time from their new 2011 range, check out the UK-Racketball Racket Shop for previews.

New clubs and more events - This year UK-Racketball has expanded the series to 8 tournaments. We have selected some of the best locations for racketball all over the UK with an outstanding portfolio of top clubs.

New sponsors – The University of Lincoln and Air-IT have come on board to support the 2011 Harrow UK Racketball Series. Check out the sponsors page for more details.

Grades and Standards

A Grade – County, national or good club player

B Grade – Regular club player

Over 40’s – For players over the age of 40

Over 50’s - For players over the age of 50

Beginner – This is for players who have recently started racketball. Players who have previously played squash to a high level and have now started playing racketball may be better off in the A or B grade. To maintain a fun atmosphere for this grade only trophies will be awarded to the winners however there will also be a reduced entry fee of just £10.

Women’s – We would really like to expand this category for 2011. This is for any standard or age of player, in 2010 around 10% of the overall competitors were women but with this new category we are hoping to build some great events for 2011.

If you are unsure which category to enter please feel free to contact us at [email protected] and we will be happy to advise you.

If entries to a category are not sufficient grades may be merged, however all participants will always be informed in advance and they will have a choice if they would still like to play.
