It is a major breakthrough in the history of Asian racquetball: the construction of the first and long awaited portable racquetball court in Asia has now started in Korea. The court will be used for the first time next weekend already for a tournament in Korea and will be another great marketing tool to support the positive efforts to promote racquetball in Asia. The court is owned by the Korean Racquetball Federation, but it will be shipped to Kaohsiung, TPE, next year for the racquetball competitions at The World Games 2009, where a second court will be built specifically for this event.
