OJRA Mike Griffith Award Applications Due May 24

The Mike Griffith Award will be awarded to the male and female OJRA players who possess such a high degree of skill that they are respected for such skills by players both older and younger. The award winner also will be someone who serves as an inspiration to junior and adult players alike, all the while conducting themselves in a manner consistent with the OJRA and USRA codes of conduct.

The specific criteria for the award include results of competing in the OJRA Junior Tour and/or Oregon High School League.  Other bonus criteria include results of competing in regional, national, world and high school national competitions, receiving other awards for achievements in the sport of racquetball, representing the OJRA on a local and national level,  and demonstrating a willingness to give something back to the sport of racquetball and to the OJRA.

Note that no nominee can be expected to possess all of the characteristics set forth in the criteria above. The OJRA Board’s objective is to select the candidates that best fit the criteria listed.  No person may win the Mike Griffith Award in two consecutive years.
