Racquetball Information

De Smet practices at the Vetta Concord courts near Mattis Road and Interstate 270. The League begins its matches during the first week of November. Each team plays a 10 game schedule with a State Tournament during the third weekend of February. During the first weekend in March, student-athletes are welcome to play in the High School Nationals. This tournament is held in St. Louis in odd-numbered years and in Portland, Oregon during even numbered years.

Cost of Racquetball
As a club sport, racquetball is paid for by the participating athletes. A membership fee is required to practice at the Vetta Concord courts. A contribution is given to the De Smet Racquetball program each year by the school to help with tournament expenses during the season and to pay a portion of the League fees.

Benefits of De Smet Jesuit Racquetball
Racquetball is a “life-time” sport that can be played at a variety of levels throughout one’s life. Although played competitively at the interscholastic level, racquetball is an excellent way to meet and make friends not only at De Smet but throughout the league. A summer camp sponsored by Vetta Concord is open to any high school student (including freshmen-to-be) to develop skills, play competitively and to make friends.
