Junior Team Illinois (JTI)

Junior Team Illinois (JTI) has existed for more than twenty years as an important ISRA program. Our goal is for every young player to learn the game of racquetball and to enjoy this fun process, too. 

JTI is open to players ages five to eighteen. All levels are welcome, from novice to advanced. The USAR and our SafeSport-certified coaches teach the racquetball basics, including the mechanics and the mental focus. In addition, they help our players develop social skills and sportsmanship. 

Each season begins in October and ends in April, with team practices weekly at Glass Court Swim & Fitness in Lombard, Illinois.

Our 2026-2027 season begins on October 25th!
