  • Please note in these instances, we ask our members to ask the fitness floor staff for assistance to clear the court.
  • Courts A, B, and C are considered multipurpose courts, available for member and guest use for racquetball, paddleball, pickleball dinking, wallyball, work outs and stretching, and more. These courts are available to rent for members at no charge but operate on a first-come first-serve basis. Any court reservations will be written on the door of each court, updated daily.
  • Outside of racquetball & paddleball only times, the courts may be used and reserved for a variety of activities. Approved activities include racquetball, paddleball, wallyball, pickleball dinking, tennis, soccer, volleyball, basketball, body weight exercise, and stretching. Activities outside of those listed should be approved by YMCA staff.
  • To protect the walls and floors, wood jump boxes, dumbbells, kettlebells, slam balls, and medicine balls may not be used in the courts.
  • No food or drink is permitted in the court. Water is allowed.
  • Our goal is that everyone enjoys the Y and has a great experience but if you have a question, please find one of our staff so we can help you. All members and guests are asked to follow our Core Values of Honesty, Respect, Caring and Responsibility when speaking to others in the facility and failure to do so could affect your access to the facility.
