Court Reservations

R Club primary members and full-time UR students are permitted to make tennis, racquetball, and squash court reservations for recreational use. Spouse and child memberships are not eligible for reservation accounts. To set up an online reservation account please email rclub@sports.rochester.edu.

To uphold the integrity of the system and in fairness to others please adhere to all current guidelines in place for reserving courts at the Goergen Athletic Center.

Current Guidelines:

1. Reservations can be made one day in advance. Currently our reservation system is allowing people to make court reservations for the “day before” starting at 11pm instead of midnight. So for example, at 11pm on Monday night, you can start making reservations for Wednesday. This is a system parameter that we have no control over, and it is possible that in the future this may change without any notice if there is a software upgrade or change to the system. Please note that we are unable to monitor the time that people are making reservations.
2. Only primary members may hold a reservation account. Reservation accounts are not permitted for memberships of a spouse or child.
3. You may only make your reservation under your user account and with the email associated with it. You may not log into someone else’s account to make reservations. Any reservations made with a different email than what is associated with the account will be deleted.
4. Reservations are limited to one hour playing time per day.
5. Whenever possible please start your reservations on the hour or half hour.
6. If you cannot keep your reservation please cancel it so that others may use the court on a first come first served basis.
7. When creating a reservation, you must enter your first initial and full last name where it asks for the Event Name (For example, J. Smith) to comply with university reservation requirements. Complete all required information on the Virtual Reservation page.
8. Proper protective eyewear is required for the use of squash and racquetball courts.
9. Failure to comply with the established guidelines will result in a suspension and possible cancellation of your account.

Please note: When selecting event type on the reservation page you must select OPEN RECREATION. Selecting something other than OPEN RECREATION will cause a scheduling issue with the University of Rochester scheduling system.

Varsity, club, and intramural sports take priority for court reservations. If your reservation needs to be canceled you will be alerted by email. Please check your email and the online calendar before you come to campus.

Outdoor courts at the Peter Lyman Tennis Center are available on a first-come, first-served basis unless reserved by programs sponsored by the Department of Athletics and Recreation (weather permitting).
