National Sports Federations
Federations helping athletes succeed
National Sports Federations are an invaluable resource for athletes who perform a specific sport because they give the precise support they need to be the best.
But not every organization in the Canadian Olympic Family represents a recognized Olympic sport. Still, the activities they represent are excellent additions to the Canadian sport and recreation landscape. From water polo to softball and rowing, the organizations in the following list represent both Olympic and Pan American sport alike.

Mouth guards worn for Olympic sports, what about chess?
—April is National Facial Protection Month focuses on sports injury prevention than teeth—
Rosemont, IL (April 1, 2002)—Whether or not chess becomes an Olympic (winter or summer) sport, you certainly do not see chess players wearing mouth guards. You do see hockey players, skiers, boxers, wrestlers and other Olympian athletes wearing them. You also see non-Olympians, such as roller bladers, baseball players, skateboarders and soccer players, wearing protective mouth and face gear. What’s the deal?
The boys’ parents do not mind paying for orthodontics, which is why they also do not mind paying for mouth guards.
The month of April finds people, children and adults alike, outside playing sports and exercising. Such healthy activities, however, can turn unhealthy when injuries occur. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and the American Association of Orthodontists are sponsoring the third annual “April is National Facial Protection Month.” Facial protection and injury prevention are the key messages from this “team” of dental specialists. Countless “team” members are not only doctors but also parents and athletes themselves. They know all too well the effects of facial injuries. Take Dr. Bill Baker for example.

Racquetball Ready for Turnaround?
Industry Mounts Campaign as Participation Declines Cease
NORTH PALM BEACH, FL - June 20, 1995 - Racquetball may be in the early stages of a comeback. The number of Americans who played the game turned up slightly in 1994, to 7.7 million, according to a national survey that has tracked a slow erosion in participation since first measuring it at 10.4 million in 1987. And there are other signs of turnaround, says Brad Patterson, executive director of the Racquet Sports Committee of the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, which sponsors the study. "We expect more new courts to be built this year than taken out, probably a first for the 1990s," Patterson said. "Racquetball's governing body has been aggressively promoting the sport at the club level for several years. And now equipment manufacturers are helping step up the campaign. Invented in New Britain, CT, in the late 1950s, racquetball looked like a hot growth sport in the late '70s and early '80s, but cooled down about a decade ago. Club owners began converting courts for aerobic classes, exercise machines and other uses.

http://www.courtsplus.com/rbhistory.html
THE HISTORY OF RACQUETBALL Racquetball a mere youngster compared to tennis, squash and other racquet sports has encountered a myriad of changes in its short 26-year history. Simple wooden racquets have given way to state-of-the-art frames, intense athlete now share court time with teens and senior adults, and the game, which was born in the USA, is now played in 87 countries worldwide.
Racquetball, which celebrated its Silver Anniversary last year, is experiencing a renewed surge in popularity and favor with over 9.3 million active participants. More and more people . . . including Baby Boomers, the 35-44 year old group responsible for making racquetball hot in the 70's and 80's . . . are coming back for fitness and fun. In the Beginning Racquetball can trace its beginnings as early as the 1920's here in America, although the origin of racquetball currently played today has been credited to Joe Sobek, a tennis pro from Greenwich, Connecticut. Seeking an indoor alternative to tennis, Sobek in 1949 combined the rules of squash and handball to create a new game dubbed paddle racquets. He drew up plans using a platform tennis racquet as a pattern, and had an initial order of 25 prototypes made.
The sport quickly caught on, but it wasn’t until 1968 that racquetball began to realize its potential. Contributing to its rapid rise in popularity was the birth of the International Racquetball Association (IRA), a precursor to the American Amateur Racquetball Association (AARA). Suddenly, racquetball had an organized tournament structure and a uniform set of rules. Another factor was that new equipment specifically designed for the sport became commercially available.

http://www.chessnews.org/blow.htm
A FINAL BLOW TO CHESS DRUG TESTING? The idea that chessplayers should be subjected to drug testing in order for the game to become part of the Olympics appears to be fading fast. Earlier this year, the U.S. Olympic Committee rejected chess as a sport, delivering a blow to support for drug testing in the United States. Now the International Olympic Committee has likewise refused to accept chess and other "mind sports" as part of the Olympics. The IOC is reducing rather than increasing the number of Olympic sports, and even popular sports of a physical nature such as bowling, racquetball, water skiing and squash have now been rejected. It should now be clear to even the drug testing diehards that the chances for chess to become part of the Olympics any time in the foreseeable future are nil. It is time to stop the debate and give up on FIDE's ridiculous idea that mandating drug testing now in various tournaments will lead to eventual recognition of chess as an Olympic sport. Congratulations to Executive Director Frank Niro for being the first USCF representative to openly challenge FIDE's ridiculous drug testing policy. Hopefully our Executive Board and FIDE representatives will follow Niro's lead. It is long overdue for USCF to stand up for what is right at FIDE meetings, and I believe that the result is likely to be the end of the idea that drug testing is needed in chess.
