The RAI will determine based on the applications from clubs, the amount received from the SI Fund (if any) what amount each club will receive.
Factors to determine the amount will be based on

• club activity nationally

• number of courts in use
• junior racquetball programmes(coaching & training of underage players)

Clubs who are not affiliated to the Association will may not qualify for funding but should still apply. Clubs must have their own banking account. In no circumstances will grants be transferred to an individual's account.

Closing date for applications is Friday 4th September. Late applications will not be accepted.
