Equipment Checkout: Basketballs and Racquetballs
A photo ID is required to check out a basketball or racquetball equipment (anyone 17 and under may use their parent’s ID).
The person checking out the equipment is responsible for returning it. There is a $50 fee for any equipment that is not returned. The fee will be added to the account and must be paid by the next billing cycle. Fees that are not paid are subject to termination of membership. Non-Members must pay for lost equipment before re-entering the facility. **There are balls available in both gyms for use. Please let Member Service know if there aren’t any available.
