Military Racquetball Federation (MRF) is making history again, this time in North Carolina!!

Saturday March 20th, 2010 (11:00am - 4:00pm) MRF in conjunction with WOR will be setting up the MRF/Ektelon outdoor racquetball court in the parking lot of The Church @ Clayton Crossings. We encourage players, families, and friends throughout the area to come out for a day long event and try outdoor racquetball for the first time ever in North Carolina. The event is FREE to the public and we will provide all required equipment including racquets, balls, & eyeguards.

MRF's aim is for everyone to have a great time while playing & learning racquetball.

MRF was created to organize, promote, and grow racquetball & physical fitness throughout all branches of the military worldwide. Two years ago, MRF put this court on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, the USS BONHOMME RICHARD in an effort to show the Sailors a different and new means of staying physically fit (the first time in Navy history). We will be doing the same here in North Carolina to show the public a new way & fun way to enjoy working out.

THE SCOOP:
Saturday March 20th, 2010 (11:00am - 4:00pm)
The Church @ Clayton Crossings (in the parking lot area)
11407 US 70 Business Hwy West
Clayton, NC 27520 (behind McDonald's, in the former Winn Dixie Grocery)
