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.
2 The winner of each match will be responsible for reporting the scores to the League Coordinators.  
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.

There are five racquetball/handball courts that members may use for free, even during league sessions.  Members may reserve courts up to two days ahead of time by calling 217-544-4943 or coming to the front desk.
