HANDBALL PLAYER MAKES AMERICA’S GOT TALENT

Tucson, AZ, WPH Press, June 5, 2014– One-man Wild Wild West show and America’s Got Talent Season 9 Contestant Loop Rawlins played handball for the first time at the Tucson Racquet Club in between Junior WPH summer clinics at the Tucson Racquet Club.

“Handball is a really cool sport and I really wanted to try it,” revealed Rawlins. “I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn from my good friends Dave Vincent and Dave Fink.”

Loop had an opportunity to play handball during the one-hour Tucson Racquet Club Summer Camp lunch break where WPH Certified Coaches will coach 350 handball clinics to youngsters between the ages of 7-15 throughout the summer. Rawlins received a lesson on the rules and fundamentals of the game and had an opportunity to spar with Race 4 Eight pro David Fink and Senior Race 4 Eight pro David Vincent.

“The first time that I watched Loop’s live performance I had never seen anything like it,” stated WPH Youth Donor and Development Director David Fink. “He is doing things that almost no one in the world can do and he is at the very top of the Wild Wild West performers in the world. I was obviously not alone in my assessment, as Howard Stern, Howie Mandel, Heidi Klum, Mel B and the America’s Got Talent audiences were in agreement that Loop is truly a special talent and entertainer. Loop possessed some pretty impressive skills on the handball court as well.”

“The summer is a very special time for our organization because of the positive impact we are able to make with the kids at the Tucson Racquet Club Summer Camp,” revealed WPH Executive Director David Vincent. “The kids love playing handball and we are proud to head the handball department for the second consecutive summer at the camp. I don’t know of another city that is able to coach over 600 juniors over three months in this type structured and fun environment.”

Loop created an incredibly special memory for several dozen youngsters and camp counselors when he performed an impromptu Trick Roping performance on the TRC show court. The kid’s applause was deafening for Tucson’s one of a kind talent.
