GRSA INTERNATIONAL

GRSA INTERNATIONAL was formed and then launched at the start of 2022 as an independent but far-reaching international association for stringers (Global Racket Stringers Association) and racket sports enthusiasts (Global Racket Sports Association) alike.

Until now, stringer associations have been insular with each association being created and dedicated to a specific geographical area – USRSA, JRSA, CRSA, UKRSA, ERSA and IRSA. GRSA INTERNATIONAL looks at the global picture!
The new GRSA certification tests (including online courses & online testing) are made up of the latest stringing techniques, trends in racket sports, including tennis, badminton, racquetball and squash. These new certification tests are available in multiple languages.

The GRSA INTERNATIONAL A-Z OF STRINGING GUIDE y GRSA INTERNATIONAL ATW MAGAZINE are just two parts of the GRSA Stringer educational system. A major part of improving stringer’s skills will be achieved through workshops in different countries by some of the most experienced stringers in the industry.
At the same no association existed to help racket sports enthusiasts understand the technology behind their sports or provide information about trends and innovations, GRSA is there to bridge that gap. With new technologies being introduced constantly, whether it is in paddles, rackets, strings, accessories, balls or any other product, GRSA is there to help.

GRSA INTERNATIONAL has a clear Global mission
