Coach looks to provide racquetball to less fortunate

Nov 10, 2022 | 2:45 PM

A Vernon coach is hoping local businesses will get behind his idea to bring racquetball to low-income families with children.

Bob Wolf, who is a coach at The Roster Sports Club, is willing to provide a three month racquetball program for the less fortunate.

He’s seeking support from local businesses to fund the program.

“The cost for the three months is $99 per child with perhaps an extra cost for decent indoor court shoes. My time will be donated and I will supply rental racquets and protective eye wear for the students,” Wolf told Vernon Matters.

Wolf, who is with the Vernon Racquetball Group, organizes programs for juniors ages 8 years to 18 as well as ladies and co-ed adult racquetball programs.

“As we have only two racquetball courts at Rosters, I may have to juggle times and dates for the students, depending on how many register and how many businesses are willing to help us,” Wolf added.
