At present, growing largely with the court number about 250, court club number about 100 club it is conjectured with about 200,000 people of player population. I am showing the growth that watches the eye and be getting the participants after 1000 people in, the area preelection in recent years although the 1st all-Japan selection sovereignty was held with only 24 people. Also, the inclusion, numerous conventions are held even satellite tour etc. of IRT JAPAN and the player everyone is announcing the result of a usual practice. The upgrade that even, Mr.& Ms. Japanese becomes more of following the baptism of a/the pro player with tournament etc. of home IRT and also WIRT, from this, is requested.

The recognition in Japan that is advancing, although be dissolving in usual life and racquet ball is acknowledged as the citizen sports in, America or I am difficult to say that. However, the age, technology level of an/the everyone responding even the development that becomes future more is conceivable, by proposing the way of enjoying upon. The dominant position nature as the sports that is able to get active and pass 1 year when the fluctuation of the climate of Japan is considered does not work. Also, when the height of the settlement rate of a/the player is considered from the height of game nature, it is able to the element as the citizen sports such that it is equipped all. Also, the healthy diffusion development of this game is hoped earnestly, even if I see it from the modern society background which the increase, supernutrition, exercise lack of communication insufficient, stress such as diseases incidental to civilization spread.
