Lindsay was the driving force behind the development of the Ballarat Squash and Racquetball Association (BSRA), and for over 30 years devoted an enormous amount of his life to developing squash and racquetball throughout the region.

When Racquetball was conceived in this country in 1977, Lindsay became an outstanding advocate implementing promotion and marketing strategies which led the BSRA to become the envy of all racquetball clubs in this country.

When Lindsay first introduced racquetball to his venues, the BSRA had around 1,000 squash players, four years on, the combined total of squash and racquetball players had swelled to around 1,700.

The Ballarat Association won the rights to host the Australian Racquetball Championships for a period of six consecutive years. It is interesting to note that at this time, Ballarat’s squash and racquetball tournaments were so popular, he was able to close entries four weeks prior to the events commencing.

Lindsay was also a long term board member of the Victorian Racquetball Association/Federation and for four years it’s President, plus a board member of the Victorian Squash Federation for five years.

Paul Vear was instrumental in the introduction of the sport of racquetball to Australia in 1977. 

Having a long involvement in the sport of squash, Paul had been a player, venue operator and was Executive Director of the Victorian Squash Federation for 20 years. He was the squash Assistant Competition Manager during the Melbourne Commonwealth Games in 2006, Director of the Festival of Squash 2001 and Event Manager for the Australian Open in Melbourne from 1994-96. 

After his retirement in 2007, he continued his involvement in the administration of the sport of racquetball. 

Paul was actively involved, coordinated and attended all tournaments, compiled rankings points and submited articles to media outlets where possible.  Paul coordinated an extensive review of the Australian racquetball rules and was the secretary of the Victorian Racquetball Committee established by Squash & Racquetball Victoria.

Paul Vear was the glue that held together the racquetball community and his work extended to several other States culminating in the National Racquetball Grand Prix Circuit and a national racquetball Committee.
