Racquetball

Lloyd Athletic Club offers seven racquetball courts with challenge nights and in-house league play. We're also the host site for the Oregon State Racquetball Championships held each year in March. An active group of players of all levels keep the program strong and growing.

Racquet sports are a very social part of the club with the lobby area in front of both back wall glass courts. There's plenty of seating and access to the snack bar where you can grab a protein drink, beer or wine depending on your tastes.

  • Reservations can be made through the front desk up to 48 hours in advance at 503-287-4594
  • Walk-in play welcome based on availability
  • Court play is for one hour and starts either on the hour or the ½ hour
  • Racquet stringing is available through the front desk
  • Protective eyewear is highly recommended and is mandatory for junior players

Racquetball Challenge Court

Courts #2 & #3 are reserved for challenge court every Monday & Wednesday from 4pm - Close.

Play is open to all players and is based on the court you sign up on. Expect a social group that turns a lot of nights into doubles play to maximize everyone's court times.

L.A.C. Racquetball Leagues

Racquetball leagues are run ongoing here at the club with no fees to participants. Throughout the year there are four leagues: two in the Winter and two in Summer/Spring.

Leagues are arranged by skill level from Beginner to Open/A. Sign-ups are open and new players will be added each time a new league begins. All leagues are set up as Flex Leagues where matches are played on competitors' own schedules.
