I wrote last Spring that Success4Kids was no longer operational. This is really not correct. Success4Kids Organization is still alive and operational. I personally have stepped down as an active coach & regular mentor with kids on a regular basis at various public school & recreation centers, etc. Also, I have not given up the game of handball nor have I given up on trying to find volunteer coaches and mentors to carry on the function and duties that I was doing for the past 20 yrs. I just have to have a little more time to relax, enjoy what time I have left in this world and spend more time with my Wife & grown Family. I believe sixty years is almost enough time for me to spend doing what I loved to do with this great game. The important thing to me is to stay active and continue to play and promote this fantastic game wherever I go. This beautiful sport to me and many other people that play this great game, strongly believe that this game is the best game in the world to play to provide great physical fitness, mental wellness and life improvement. It has always been a mystery for me to hear people say, what is handball? The reason being it is the oldest game in the world played with a ball. However, it is not easy to find advertisement or publicity for the game. This great game dates back 4-5 centuries in many parts of the world and yet many people say they never heard of it. Yet, in many parts of the world it is their National Game. There are pictures carved in historic caves showing figures striking a ball with their hands. I have always admired, from the time I was a young man in high school, watching men play handball at YMCA’s in Detroit Michigan where I grew up. My Dad was one of those guys. I decided to try it when I was about 16 yrs. old while attending high school. It wasn’t long before I started to hit the ball fairly well with my dad and all of a sudden was hooked on the game. It didn’t take long before I started finding other younger students that enjoyed the game as well. I became addicted to the game & the competition and started working very hard to beat somebody. Not only was I pleased with my success in the court but It helped my physical fitness to play other games so much better; e.g. Baseball, football, golf, etc. I’ve continued to play the game ever since 195o.
In Closing, If you or anyone you know plays this great game and is willing to help make Phoenix, Arizona a better place to live and help the youth of our great area become better people, better physically, better mentally, better citizens, please do not hesitate to call me or our C.E.O. Gerry Bernard. I can be reached via the internet at: [email protected] or [email protected]. Donations are always accepted to continue this great program & Phoenix kids to become better people. Our address is www.success4kids.org 24 W.Camelback rd. Ste.-536 Phx. Az. 85013.
P.S. Our organization also donates time & money to help our Arizona State University Handball Club Team to become as competitive as possible with other Universities that compete in the National Collegiate Handball Championships every 3 or 4 years.
Sincerely, Jim Reitmyer. [email protected]. & [email protected]
