BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The 2025 Coney Island Players Championship took place over the weekend as players and fans gathered in memory of Mike Schneider Sr. and other handball heroes we’ve lost, including Ed Buonomo, Joe Thompson, and Stan Zavoyskiy. This annual One-Wall Small Ball showcase continues to attract some of New York’s top competitors.

     Mike Schneider Jr. would have made his father proud, capturing the Open Singles title over One-Wall legend and 11-time USHA One-Wall Open champion Tyree Bastidas in a dramatic final. In the one-game-to-21 final, Schneider held on to win 21–20. (Watch the thrilling finish in using the link below)
