Springfield YMCA Racquetball League Rules 1 Matches are won by winning 2 out of 3 games to 15 points, with 1 point needed to win. Play all three games. 2 The winner of each match will be responsible for reporting the scores to the League Coordinators at rball@springfieldymca.org 3 Players with conflicts for a scheduled match must contact their opponent 24 hours prior to the match to reschedule. 4 Players not showing up for matches within 15 minutes of the scheduled start time forfeit that match at the option of the player that shows up on time. While the late or “no-show” player may contact opponents to reschedule, the on-time opponents have the option of rescheduling or taking a forfeit. 5 Eye protection with lenses is mandatory and must meet ASTM or CSA impact standards for racquetball. 6 All games must be played at the Springfield YMCA racquetball courts during regular hours of operation. 7 To determine first server, lob ball for the “short” line on service box; the closest serves first. Players alternate servers between first and second matches. The player who scored the most points in games one and two serves the third game. If all points are tied after two, lob ball for the “short” line to determine service on third game. 8 Play safe and call hinders when necessary. 9 Rules of play will be the United States Racquetball Association rules (http://www.usra.org) where they do not conflict with YMCA or YMCA Racquetball League rules. General Court Policies The YMCA maintains "Five Courts of Fun" on the second floor. 3 have partial backwalls with a netted gallery viewing area. Two have full back walls that are half glass for viewing. If the courts are not in repair, notify the front desk and the Racquetball Coordinator at rball@springfieldymca.org Make court reservations with the front desk staff in person or by calling 217-544-4943. You need to provide your full name and can only reserve a court that you are playing on. You may not reserve a court for others. YMCA Members and Racquetbqall League Registrants (members and non-members) may reserve up to 2 courts for the day of a match and 2 more days in advance (except for Court #2) . E.g., Call Monday for courts on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday; Call Saturday for courts on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, etc. Court #2 can be reserved in advance for Handball only, but may be reserved the same day for either sport. YMCA Guests and A.W.A.Y. Members may reserve courts the day of their visit. YMCA Staff may use the courts for other purposes and events, but will post signs and let the front desk staff know about these "blackout" dates in advance. Occupy your court at the reserved time. Don't reserve courts that you are not going to use. Courts will be held for 15 minutes following the reserved time, after which the reservation will be canceled for use by someone else. The YMCA front desk may be called from the upstairs Racquetball hallway court phone (Dial 24) to confirm, make and break reservations, or any emergency. |
Each week, the "Home" player contacts the "Away" opponent as shown on the schedule. Agree on a time and date to play your match during the week shown on the schedule. 
Please bring your own safety gear, racquets and fresh racquetballs as we can't guarantee the front desk will have these to loan when you need them. Use eye protection and wrist straps. 
Players select skill-based Division(s) (A, B, C, D) in which to play when registering. Players are assigned by the League Coordinator to a Division(s) based on ranking from previous play at the Y, the League Coordinator’s judgment, and the number of players registered. Players wishing to play an additional Division must play at the skill level above the Division assigned.
