The second half of the IRT professional men’s racquetball season kicks off January 2-5 in sunny southern California. The Coast to Coast California Open offers players a great location, a great facility, and great racquetball for every level of player. “It’s Southern California in January–we’re close to the beach, great restaurants, fun things to do, and a full slate of high intensity racquetball,” says Deb Moore, tournament director. “What could be better than that?”
