On Wed. October 22, 2003, the Caltech Racquetball Club has arranged for Ektelon to give a demonstration event from 6pm to 9pm at the Braun Athletic Center Racquetball Courts.

Several of our members attended a similar event at USC about 6 months ago -- it was really excellent and a lot of fun. This is a hands-on event and a great opportunity to meet, challenge and learn from some excellent players. For example, during one part of the program, courts were assigned to "forehand", "backhand", "serve" and a radar gun "how hard do you hit the ball" test. Players were split into groups and rotated through each of the courts.

Throughout the evening prizes were awarded for knowledge of the basic rules, what the different lines on the court are called, court dimensions and skill tests etc. One of the prizes was a brand new Ektelon racquet. The latest equipment was on display and available for demo. 5 or 6 Ektelon instructors/players were present and after the demo part of the evening they could be challenged for a game. Everyone had an enjoyable evening.

Players of all levels of ability are encouraged to attend. We would especially like beginners to participate and find out more about the Caltech Racquetball Club.

We look forward to seeing you on the 22nd
