Message From Our President
Dear family and friends of The Inner City Handball Association On behalf of the ICHA, I would like to thank you for joining us at our 30th Anniversary Handball Gala celebration! Every year is unique in its own way. There are challenges around every corner and we must tackle them individually on a united front. I think we can all agree that over the last year, as things started to reopen, we’ve experienced a new perspective and appreciation for the hard work that has been put forth by those who have organized, competed, and participated in some great events. Taking time to stop and take notice of that is as important as the work itself. As we all know, time is our most precious commodity. The time we spend working on our work, our craft, relationships, our family and friends all add up to who we are as a community. So tonight, we’re taking the time to celebrate our champions, organizers, supporters, and those who are no longer with us. Thank you for your time & continued support!

Michael Schneider Sr. Scholarship Recipient
Taylor Rampersaud Taylor Rampersaud is currently a first-year undergrad at Northwestern University, pursuing a double major in Economics and Computer Science, with a concentration in quantitative analysis. He was born and raised in Queens, New York, and attended Francis Lewis High School. Taylor was the captain and first singles of the back-to-back two-time New York PSAL Championship Varsity Handball team. Taylor fell in love with the sport from a young age, fascinated by that 99 cent Penn ball. Handball quickly became his passion, and as he grew older, the team's camaraderie and community drew him further into the game. Handball has taught him to never quit in life, and he is appreciative of all the lessons that he will always carry eternally.

Anastasia Chen
Anastasia Chen is currently an undergraduate at the University of Rochester. She started playing handball freshman year of high school for the sake of trying something new. She instantly fell in love with it. For Anastasia, her favorite memories were, "when I played casually and sometimes competitively with friends." Anastasia enjoys participating in ICHA tournaments and other tournaments around the city. Her proudest achievement is winning the championship for 2019 High School Spring Meet in the 15-and -under division. Anastasia loves playing handball because, "it allowed me to make friends with fellow handball players from different places."
