FYI--There has been some confusing concerning the scheduling of the racquetball courts in Lysker gymnasium. I would like to clear this up. If you would like to schedule a court to play racquetball you must sign-up on the scheduling sheet right outside of the racquetball courts. Courts are available by the hour and on the hour. The courts are open from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Our facility will be closed at 10:00 PM. No matches are to scheduled after 9:00 PM. The racquetball court scheduling is a first come, first serve situation. Please sign-up well in advance of when you want to play. The courts will become very busy in the next months due to Intramural Racquetball starting. Thank you for your consideration with this matter. If you have any questions please contact Kelly Hollands @ 8418.
