MOHSRA
Objective
The goal of the Missouri High School Racquetball Association is to promote interscholastic racquetball competition, with coaches and athletes who reflect principles of integrity, hard work and excellence. Our philosophy of placing athletes first and winning second is designed to help young men and women learn that striving for victory should only be done in a team atmosphere of fair play and good sportsmanship.
​
Vision
Interscholastic racquetball competition can become an integral part of the total education and growth experience for students in high school. The Missouri High School Racquetball Association provides opportunities for young people to be introduced to and participate in the sport of racquetball through sanctioning of events and administration of programs.
Student athletes, coaches, and parents are called upon to work together in a true spirit of sportsmanship. School pride, citizenship, understanding rules, respect for opponents, coaches, and officials are concepts that define sportsmanship. Good citizenship is the foundation of our society, and student athletes, coaches, and parents are expected to model this behavior at all times. They will be taught to take responsibility for personal growth by developing loyalty, pride, integrity, and commitment. The values of teamwork, leadership, work ethic, respect, accountability, perseverance, and self control, are among the many values the Missouri High School Racquetball Association strives to instill in their students athletes. We hope that the development of these values today will empower the young men and women who play in our league and impact their lives and the lives of others they encounter in their future.
Our coaches give willingly of their time to help students achieve a feeling of success and self-worth in a program that stresses development of character and attitude as well as acquisition of skills. In our racquetball league, as in the classroom, students are guided toward making their own decisions rather than expecting them to be made by others.
