San Luis Potosí doubles racquetball tournament showcases youth depth

The Torneo de Dobles de Raquetbol at La Loma Centro Deportivo in San Luis Potosí ran from June 15 through June 20, 2026, and it turned the club into a full-spectrum doubles stage for juniors, youth and adults. Rather than a quick weekend bracket, the event stretched across a week and moved players through divisions from 6 and under to master doubles, with categories that also included 8 and under, 10 and under, Dobles Open, Dobles Novatos and Dobles B.

The youngest draws produced some of the week’s clearest markers of depth. Carin Mora won the 6-and-under division, while Isabella Valadez finished third in that same age group. Beyond those results, the names that surfaced most often inside the academy lanes were Andrea Cancino, Diego Mora, Íram Mora, Braulio Díaz and Santi Ortiz, a list that pointed to more than one rising prospect and more than one training group contributing to the tournament’s shape.

Doubles results also reached beyond the youngest brackets. Darío Pérez and Said Pérez finished third in a doubles category, adding another family-linked result to a field that spread across multiple age groups and competitive levels. That mix mattered because the tournament was not built around a single showcase division; it connected 6-and-under players, beginners in Novatos, developing players in B and more experienced pairs in Open and master doubles, all under the same roof.

Coach Roberto Salazar said his athletes brought passion, discipline and joy to the court and described them as the future of the sport. His praise fit the event’s larger value for San Luis Potosí racquetball: the doubles format gave younger players repeated match time, put academy athletes in contact with older competitors and helped keep the local pipeline active from entry-level categories to adult play.

That structure is what gave the week its weight. In a sport that depends on retention, club culture and consistent competition, La Loma used doubles to knit together a broader racquetball ecosystem. The result was a tournament that rewarded medals and placements while also reinforcing the habits, relationships and competitive rhythm that keep the sport moving forward in the region.
