Matt Dockter – was introduced to racquetball tournaments while attending Montana State University. The generosity of the MT racquetball community, offering floor space to sleep and warm welcomes, transformed his athletic pursuit into a network of lifelong friendships. It’s how he met his wife, Michelle (Sikorski), and together with their children, Nathan and Zoey, they travel to play and support tournaments from Cody, WY to Las Vegas. A board member since 2016, Matt is dedicated to revitalizing racquetball, fostering community spirit, and enhancing participation at all levels.
Jacob Kingsford – is on the cusp of becoming a professional racquetball player, mountaineer, and an entrepreneur. He became inspired to lead, alongside others on the sport’s front lines who drive important initiatives, after learning from mentors how to successfully manage friendships, family, and career. He’s committed to helping athletes from other sports understand what’s in it for them to take up racquetball, plus he brings unique insights to the question of why so many long-time players just won’t allow the sport to die.
Matt Melster – grew up in Wisconsin and has been playing racquetball since he was 8 years old. He’s traveled across the country competing in tournaments and moved to Colorado in 2003 to play for CSU-Pueblo. Since joining the CRA Board in 2018, he’s been actively involved in supporting the sport and took over as President in 2020 during one of its most challenging periods. He helps run several tournaments across the state and is dedicated to building the sport by growing participation, supporting players, and strengthening the racquetball community throughout Colorado.
Marcia Richards – has been involved in racquetball for over 40 years, first as a player and board member in Louisiana, then moving to Colorado in 1999 and serving non-stop on the CRA Board ever since (leading as President, 2003-2013). She spent many of those years as a top-ranked singles player before falling in love with doubles. After successful knee and ankle replacements, her focus shifted to the master’s circuit, where she excelled and was honored with an induction into the National Masters Hall of Fame in 2019. Now retired from teaching, she enjoys traveling and staying active in the sport that has shaped so much of her life.
Michiele Scharer – learned to play racquetball in the 90’s but military deployments and raising a family put the sport on hold. Her first tournament was the Colorado State Games in 2016 where she began to consistently develop her game and later went on to compete in sanctioned events around the country. Michiele was tapped for her first term of CRA Board service in 2025 and hopes to serve the racquetball family through her work management skills, enthusiastic event support, and by encouraging community engagement.
April Settell – has been involved for over 30 years in the Colorado racquetball community, both as a competitor and administrator. She first served on the CRA Board between 2001-2010, spending much of that term supporting tournaments behind-the-scenes by managing event hospitality, from State Championships to the US Open. On court, she continues to enjoy playing, competing and improving. Off court, her primary goal is to enhance the sport’s popularity among women and girls to help re-grow the game.
