Jason Mannino, born January 28, 1975, is a retired American racquetball player. Mannino was the #1 player at the end of the 2002-2003 International Racquetball Tour (IRT) Archived 2018-11-27 at the Wayback Machine season, and is a two-time winner of the US Open. He was named to the USA Racquetball Hall of Fame in 2020.[1]
Mannino's game style was unique, as he rarely hit drive serves, relying instead on a variety of half lob serves. Then during rallies he frequently dove to keep a rally going, hitting the ball to the ceiling while waiting for an opportunity to hit a winning shot.[2]
