UWF Clinic Action 2015The 2015 WPH Argonauts Classic and Junior WPH Argonauts Collegiate Clinic hosted by the University of West Florida was a huge success, as collegiate players from four prominent handball universities competed and learned handball throughout the weekend at UWF’s Rec Center in Pensacola, FL. “Our goal was for everyone to play as many matches as possible and we accomplished that and then some,” declared UWF Team Founder and WPH Handball Ambassador Michael Morgan. “We used round robin formats for most of the divisions, with more than a few players playing six or seven matches during the weekend. We had 16 entries in the Men’s C, as the beginner players were showcased in the tournament’s largest bracket.”

UWF Action 2 2015Former WPH R48 Elite 8 Pro Luis Cordova defended his 2014 Argonauts Classic Open Singles Title, defeating Lake Forest College’s Kyle Kloss in the final. Cordova slammed, teaming with his wife Arelhi to win the Open Doubles. “Arelhi has never lost a game in the open,” boasted Cordova. “Not even Paul Brady can say that.”

Junior WPH was thrilled to present a collegiate handball clinic at the WPH sponsored University of West Florida’s 2015 Argonauts Classic for the third consecutive year. WPH Certified Coach and two-time Argonauts Open Singles champion Luis Cordova coached clinics for more than 30 collegiate handball players from the University of West Florida, University of Texas, Angelo State University, and the University of Illinois. “We split the clinic into two groups based on skill level, working on swing mechanics, serves, return of serve, and shot selection,” stated Argonauts tournament director Coach Morgan. “Overall everyone had an amazing time and is excited about next year.”

UWF Clinic 2015“The UWF handball team would really like to thank the WPH and the rest of our supporters for helping us make this year’s Argonauts Classic a huge success,” stated Morgan. “Everyone at the University of West Florida truly appreciates what you do for the team.”
