What happens if I cancel my membership in the summer and want to start up in the Winter?
While there is no fee to cancel, re-starting your membership will require the re-installment of an annual fee. We are considering a non-resident membership in the future.

[3:01 PM] Emily Truax Yes, there is an in-house rating system. We are in the process of becoming a DUPR rated facility. Players are matched to the appropriate rated programming according to their rating. More to come!

Yes, you can do both. If downgrading, please give the Racquet Center manager notice and your membership status will switch on the first of the following month.

Are your Open play courts skill based?
Yes, we believe players best improve their play by competing with players similar in level or a little better. The goal is for our members have matches with long sustained rallies to teach consistency and mental patience. We will have non-rated courts for times where social players want to mix and have fun no matter the skill differences.
How will the paddle demo program work?
Simply check out a paddle from our Pro Shop by leaving a credit card, and return the paddle when done using it. This can be done multiple times per day. We will offer the same paddles for sale should you fall in love with one of them. There is a max of 3 check outs per paddle type.
