2025 Liberty University James River Open Wrap-Up

The 2025 Liberty University James River Open is officially in the books—and what a weekend it was! Held April 11–12 at Liberty University’s LaHaye Recreation & Fitness Center, this event brought together 43 players from across Virginia and beyond for two days of exciting matches, great food, and community connection.

Thank You, Players!

To all our participants: thank you! Your flexibility as we shuffled the schedule to keep courts full and matches flowing was deeply appreciated. We know racquetball tournaments require some patience—and you delivered.

A special thanks goes out to the Liberty University student volunteers, who went above and beyond all weekend:

• Picking up and serving meals

• Refilling the Gatorade coolers to keep players hydrated

• Stepping in to referee matches when needed

Your energy and effort helped the tournament run smoothly from start to finish.
