Kaitlyn Couckuyt discovered racquetball at age 9 through a “learn to play” class, where her enthusiasm for the sport took root from day one. Despite being the only female athlete in her training group, Kaitlyn remained dedicated and has achieved success. She has won gold in Girl’s 16U singles at the last two National Championships and she represented Canada at the 2025 World Junior Championships. Outside of racquetball, Kaitlyn is a multi-sport athlete, competing in varsity and club volleyball, basketball, and softball.
