Elkins is the second person in USA Racquetball history, male or female, to win all three number one gold divisions (singles, doubles, and mixed) at the USA Racquetball National High School Championships, and was featured in the Los Angeles Times for his accomplishments. [2] Also, more recently (for the same distinction) in the May 28, 2017, issue of Sports Illustrated. [3] His singles title earned him a spot on the 2017/18 USA Jr. National Racquetball Team.

Elkins is an eight-time member of the USA National Junior Racquetball Team (indoor and outdoor), [4] a six-time USA Racquetball "All American," a three-time USA Jr. Olympic "All American," a three-time USA Racquetball High School "All American," and a two-time USA National Singles Champion (Boys' Division, 14 and 18). [5] He is currently ranked 33rd on the International Racquetball Tour (IRT)) [6] — the largest and best known professional racquetball tour.

Although still seeking his 1st Tier 1 win on the IRT - Elkins holds an exceptional USAR National Singles Ranking of 385. [7]

Early and personal life

Elkins is a member of University Synagogue in Los Angeles, California. [8] [9] He lives in Brentwood, California. His father, Brett Elkins, is a world outdoor skills three-wall champion (2012), ranked IRT pro, and head of the World Outdoor Racquetball Hall of Fame. [10]

In 2014, at the 47th annual USA Racquetball National Singles Championship (indoor) in Fullerton, California, Elkins won the gold medal in the boy's 14-and-under and boys 18-and-under (as a 14-year-old). [24] In July 2014 and August 2016, Elkins again attended the USOC Olympic Training Camp. [25]

Elkins won his first professional match in 2014 in Fresno, California, at age 15; he has now played several top 20 professional players and has placed in the finals, semifinals, and quarterfinals at several IRT pro racquetball tour events. [26] [27] [28]

2015

Since 2015, Elkins has served as a junior board member for the California-Nevada State Racquetball Association (CNRA). He and several local southern California players have raised several thousand dollars in CNRA fundraisers for Jr. Olympics and World Championships. Elkins is the founding member and original president (he now shares that title with high school doubles’ partner Jared Anwar) of the Palisades Charter High School Racquetball Team that represented California at the 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 USA National High School Championship held in Oregon (2014 and 2016) and Missouri (2015 and 2017).

2016

In 2016, Elkins won the Junior Olympic Nationals Championships in the boys' Gold 16 and under doubles, earning him the sport's top honor again—a coveted spot on the USA Jr. National Racquetball (indoor) Team.

At the 2016 Junior National Championships, Elkins' longtime partner, Ricky Diaz, played on a fractured ankle in their semi and finals doubles championship victories to qualify them for the World Championships in November 2016 in San Luis Portosi, Mexico, and play for the 2016 USA Jr. National Team.

At the 2016 World Jr. Championships, Elkins had his best showing as a two-time quarter-finalist in singles and doubles (his USA team won two bronze medals - in overall and boys). [29] As a National Outdoor USA Team member, Elkins has achieved outdoor racquetball #1 world ranking (in singles and doubles 2011 and 2013) four times. [30] [31]

Dane is sponsored by the stringing company, Ashaway, and coached at national pro/junior events by six-time #1 pro player/coach Cliff Swain.

2017

In March 2017, he became only the second player in US history to win the top singles (defeating Cayden Akins of Texas, 15-2, 15-2), doubles, and mixed doubles titles at the USA Racquetball National High School Championships, in St. Louis. [32] [5] With those victories, he had won 21 major national championship junior titles. [32] He was ranked Number 35 on the International Racquetball Pro Tour, the highest ranking for anybody 17 years old or younger. [32] Later that month, he won the Boys 18s singles division. [33] He also won the gold medal in the 18-and-under mixed doubles division with Elena Dent. [34]

Dane was invited to play for Team USA at the 2017 Junior World Championships (he had been the first official alternate designee by winning the USA High School Singles title after Wayne Antone, the under-18 national champ, was unable to go). Dane won several matches at Jr. Worlds in pool play and defeated the number one player (Acuna) in his bracket. At Jr. Worlds, Dane made the quarterfinals in singles and contributed to a 3d place Team USA overall finish. [35]

In June 2018, Dane was named the 2017 Palisades Charter High School's "Top Male Athlete or ‘Cup’ award winner," which is voted on by the Palisadean Post private newspaper. [36] [Dane's selection caused some controversy because Dane had not officially played a Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD)-sanctioned high school sport although he did play in USA Racquetball-sanctioned high school championships. Sports Editor Steve Galluzzo (and others at the newspaper) felt Dane's high school accomplishments were superlative compared with other Palisades CHS (Pali High) LAUSD-sanctioned sports' athletes and chose him for the award. Dane is believed to be the first Pali High athlete in the school's history to win this award without playing a varsity sport at Pali High.]

2018

In January 2018, the California-Nevada State Racquetball Association (CSRA) held a highly unusual State Juniors Championship featuring $1200 in prize money for the 18-and-younger singles’ divisions to entice the top CA Juniors to play since most are professionals and few play it. The highly regarded non-profit organization Reaching Your Dream Foundation (RYD) and Michael Lippitt funded the prize money for the event. Dane competed against 5 top USA National Team Members including partner Ricky Diaz, Julian Singh, Krish and Salil Thakur, and Antonio Rojas. Dane won the $500 first-place 18-and-younger prize. [37] [This is one of many CA State Jr. titles for Dane, including one a few years earlier when he broke his right hand and won the CA State championships as a lefty even though he is not ambidextrous.]

In June 2018, Dane had his best showing ever at the Junior Olympics winning the 18-and-under Gold Doubles (top divisions) with Ricardo Diaz in their final season together as juniors. Dane also won Gold Mixed 18-and-under doubles with first-time participant Taylor Shaw. Dane lost in the finals of the boys’ gold 18-and-under singles to partner Ricardo Diaz and thus qualified for the USA team in singles and doubles. [38]

At the World Junior Championships held in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, Dane lost a tiebreaker to the number-1 seed from Bolivia and finished 3d place in doubles with Ricardo Diaz; Dane also made the quarters in singles. Team USA took a bronze at Jr. Worlds. [39]

2019

In January 2019, at a tier-1 IRT pro stop held in Canoga Park, California, in Open Divisions’ play, Dane beat Justus Benson, a player seeded #3 on the World Racquetball Tour (WRT) pro tour event. [40]

In the Spring 2014 edition of USA Racquetball, Elkins contributed an article on the January 2014 California-Nevada junior racquetball championships. [43]

Elkins authored the article "2015 California-Nevada State Junior Racquetball Championships (Southern California)" published on the California-Nevada Racquetball website.
