Brooklyn, NY, WPH Press, 5/8/23
JR WPH was thrilled to sponsor the 2023 St. John’s WallBall Association & JR WPH Spring Classic at St. John’s Park on May 6 in Brooklyn, NY. The May 6 junior mega event featured junior boys and girls 1-Wall Big Ball singles and doubles, with 60 junior handball players competing on a beautiful Saturday in Brooklyn.
The juniors played throughout the day on Saturday at St. John’s Park, with the players demonstrating tremendous skill, sportsmanship, and passion for the game.
2017 WPH Volunteer of the Year Veronica Figueroa hosted the 2023 St. John’s WallBall Association & JR WPH Spring Classic, promoting and organizing the event, in addition to running the event. “This was the fifth event we have thrown with JR WPH and each event has been a huge success,” stated Veronica. “I want to thank the WPH and all of the sponsors who made this event possible. When I went to these organizations and sponsors, they didn’t hesitate to donate. We hope next year will be even bigger.”
“JR WPH was thrilled to team up with Ms. V for the fifth time in hosting this junior mega event,” stated the WPH’s David Fink. “Ms. V. is a huge part of the New York handball community, serving as a promoter, ambassador, volunteer, and tournament director and JR WPH is honored to run events with the St. John’s WallBall Association and all of the sponsors who made this event such a huge success.”
