Reservation Procedure

• Court reservations are available for all RecSports members. Guests may not reserve courts.
• Courts are available online seven days in advance up to the reservation time.
• Users can select facility, activity, date, and then choose one court per day per EID.
• If a court is unclaimed by the user by 10 minutes after the reservation begins, the user will be considered a “no-show”. Excessive “no-shows” may result in loss of reservation privileges.
• Users may cancel their reservations up to the time of the reservation. If a waiting list exists for that hour, the first EID on the list will be transferred to the open court and the remaining EIDs will move up on the list. Any additional reservations for the wait-listed EID will be deleted for the remainder of the day.
• Once courts are full for a particular time block, a virtual waiting list will be started for that hour.
• Virtual waiting lists will be available online up until the reservation time. Then only the on duty RecSports staff may add names to the waiting list.
• Available times for reserved play begin at Noon each day. Pending availability, courts are available on a first-come, first-serve basis before this time. Please refer to the facility hours and current reservations pages for up-to-date information.
• Other times are set aside for walk-on play only. Courts will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis unless designated as a challenge court. Open and unreserved courts change on the hour.
• Reservations are limited to one hour per EID (two hours for tennis doubles and wallyball) on any single day.
• Most court reservation periods begin and end on the hour. However, some reservation periods may begin at 10 minutes after the hour and be limited to 50 minutes.
• Reservations are required for wallyball courts. (two hour reservation: play is 1 1/2 hour with 15 minutes to set-up, 15 minutes to take-down).
• Whitaker Tennis Courts, located at 51st and Guadalupe, may be reserved one day in advance by telephone at 512.454.0888, or on a walk-in basis at the courts during regular facility hours.
