Nidia Funes
Nidia Funes has been enjoying racquetball for over 30 years. She plays three to four times per week at the Petaluma Valley Athletic Club in Petaluma, CA and also at the Marin YMCA in San Rafael, CA.
Besides racquetball Nidia also enjoys walking to help raise money and awareness for breast cancer. "I walk an average of 25-20 miles per week," said Nidia. "This year I will participate in two walks. The Avon Walk in San Francisco is 39 1/2 miles in 2 days and the Komen Walk for 60 miles in 3 days in San Diego. I will be raising over $4000 which is required as pledges to participate."
Nidia also enjoys volunteering at National events and most recently the USA Racquetball National Doubles and Singles. "It is my way of giving back to a sport that I love so much," said Nidia. "I have met so many wonderful people and I try to encourage other local players and women to keep playing and participating in tournaments and leagues."
