The RFC 8 will feature 4-Wall small ball and 1-Wall small ball and big ball, with the RFC champion demonstrating the ultimate cross over skills, with Saturday, July 9th featuring 4-Wall and Sunday, July 10th featuring 1-Wall (weather permitting). The RFC boasts one of the strongest champion’s lists of any event in the world, as every RFC champion has been ranked inside the WPH Elite 8. Chapman won the inaugural RFC in 2009, followed by Fink, Shanks and Cooney. Several of the WPH Race 4 Eight’s top stars will be in attendance at the RFC 8, including WPH R48 #8 David Fink and WPH #12 Stephen Cooney. The 2016 RFC 8 will also feature 4-Wall Master’s Doubles (45+).
“I am really excited to be hosting the RFC for the eighth time,” revealed RFC tournament director David Fink. “Co-tournament hosts Mike Semplice and Rodney Fink ensure that every player is treated to an outstanding weekend of handball, hospitality, camaraderie and Pittsburgh culture. The RFC is a must-attend event.”
Pittsburgh is one of the best cities in the country to visit in the summer, as the Steel City boasts a vibrant nightlife and family-friendly activities, to include the Pittsburgh Zoo, Phipps Conservatory, the Duquesne Incline, Pittsburgh Pirates baseball at PNC Park and so much more.
