Racquetball in the US is sponsored by the US Olympic Committee. However, it is not a sport that is currently played IN the Olympics itself.
There have been numerous attempts to get the sport into the Olympic competition but, though the sport is played all over the world, the US pretty well dominates it. Sports that are dominated by a single country rarely get added to the Olympics (though they might already *be* in the Olympics).
