I'm Eli - I'm 10 years old and I'm raising funds so that I can travel with my family to Bolivia in November to play for Team USA at the IRF World Junior Racquetball Championship tournament.

I've been playing racquetball for about a year now with the Lafayette High School team, and I really love it! Over the past year, I've competed in a bunch of tournaments close to home, and in February I placed second in state for the 5th grade (and under) singles division. Then this summer I went to California to compete in the US Junior Nationals competition - I wanted to see what Junior Nationals was like, and someday I hoped to be able to make it to the Worlds competition, which is like the Olympics for racquetball. I was really surprised when I ended up placing 2nd in my age division for singles at Junior Nationals, which qualified me to compete for Team USA at the IRF World Junior Racquetball Championship! So now I'm raising funds to help cover my travel and competition expenses for Worlds in Tarija, Bolivia.

Thanks for supporting me - I'm really excited!
