TXRA Board of Directors Election (r2sports.com) Candidates and Bios      Brennen Jennings I really appreciate this opportunity to run for the TXRA Board. Racquetball has opened so many doors for me in the eleven years I have been playing, and it is time that I give back to the community. I found racquetball when I had just turned 18 years old at UTSA in the semester of Fall 2012. My closest friend Brant introduced the sport to me and at first I was skeptical of playing it. It is comical to look back at that time and how my initial thoughts of our game were so far off. Over the next four years I would play at both UTSA and UT Austin with their racquetball clubs. I fell in love with the game, as I would be challenged in ways I had not ever thought about. As we all know, racquetball pushes you both physically and mentally, demanding an i...

Dear friends, family and racquetball enthusiasts, As you know, we lost my husband Gregg and father to Chandler and Allie suddenly from a heart attack May 4, 2020. Since that time, our family has spent much time thinking of how to honor and remember his spirit in a way that would be meaningful.   We are pleased to announce the Gregg Peck Memorial Fund has been established at The Dallas Foundation (a philanthropic support organization) in his memory. The purpose of the fund is to award annual scholarships to aspiring, high-level junior racquetball players to aide with the costs associated with tournament travel and entry fees, lessons, and racquetball equipment. The awardees will be those who exhibit heart, generosity, competitiveness and the desire to pay success forward as Gregg did.  Many may not be aware that one of the things that brought Gregg much joy was his role as the coach for the USA Junior World Championship Teams. He loved coaching and mentoring kids and cham...
