This week I have decided to take advantage of the California State University, Northridge (CSUN) Student Recreation Center's (SRC) open recreation racquetball court. I wanted to get in there before summer begins because at the end of this semester I will not be enrolled in classes and will lose the ability to utilize the gym on campus.
Keep in mind that unless you are enrolled in at least one unit over the summer you cannot use the SRC without having to buy a summer membership. The cost for a student membership over the summer (for a student not enrolled in any courses) is $78. For all other rates please click here.
On Thursday my friend and I will check out the racquetball court at the SRC and take a swing at playing the game. Now, neither of us has ever played before so it is a good idea if you are also a beginner to watch a tutorial on how to play.
The SRC makes it easy for those who want to try out the sport. Everything is available at the front desk of the SRC for check-out, so you do not need to come prepared with any equipment of your own.
As long as the room is available, once you have all of the proper equipment you can use the court for play. The court is located on the second floor of the SRC and is surrounded by three walls for play and one wall of glass for those who would like to watch. If you have an audience they can sit outside of the court on the benches and enjoy the game. Just make sure they pick up all of their belongings after!
If there are others occupying the room when you get to the court, do not be discouraged. The SRC has a policy of one game up to 10 points if others are waiting to utilize the space for play.
Make sure you check out all of the features the SRC offers before time is too late and you have to give in to paying those membership fees!
