Court reservation policy

Basketball, badminton, volleyball and tennis courts cannot be reserved for general patron use without completion of a Facility Rental Agreement. These activities are set up and have priority during "priority use times" as listed below. During priority use times, courts cannot be monopolized by a single group. They are shared space and time.

The only courts that can be reserved without a Facility Rental Agreement are racquetball courts. Patrons can reserve racquetball courts Monday-Friday between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. Outside of these time frames, courts are "first come, first serve." Patrons may reserve no more than one day in advance; meaning, if they call on a Monday, they can only reserve a court for Monday or Tuesday. This is known as the 24-hours in advance rule. Reservations can only be made for 1/2 an hour per day, per patron, and made not less than 1 hour preceding the reservation time. By taking a reservation, Rec Services does not reserve a particular court. We simply guarantee that a court will be reserved for the patron.

Courts 1 and 2 are to be reserved for walleyball only.
Courts 3, 4, 9 and 10 are to be reserved for racquetball only.
Courts 15 and 16 are to be reserved for squash only.
All other courts are for open or drop-in play.
A patron can only sign up for 1/2-hour time slot, once per day.
Reservations can be made over the phone or in person.

Court closure for duct work

Due to duct work construction, the south basketball courts on 6, 7 and 8 will be closed until work is completed and construction equipment removed. During this time, only 2 courts will be available for badminton on Friday evenings. Indoor soccer will be cancelled until the duct work construction is complete. Posted April 17, 2012.
