  IRC members may reserve a court (specific courts are not guaranteed) on a permanent basis during the indoor season at a convenient time for their group.  Members receive a discount of $1.00 per court hour off normal court rates.  Seasonal court members may elect to have an IRC teaching professional on their court for a portion of their time.  All players must be IRC members.

   In order to receive court discounts, seasonal court members must commit to the entire indoor season.  It is each player's financial responsibility to find a substitute if they cannot continue for whatever reason.  All seasonal court players must be IRC members.  If a substitute is needed, non-members are eligible to play, but must check-in at the front desk and pay an $8.00 guest fee.  Guests may play up to three times before IRC requires membership. 

   Seasonal court members are responsible for providing their own tennis balls for play, but have the option of purchasing balls at a discounted rate, to be provided at the time of play.  Seasonal courts do not meet on Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day.  All seasonal court reservations are subject to temporary change due to prior IRC tournament commitments.

To sign up for a seasonal court, please contact the IRC Member Services Office, (317) 849-2531.
