If you are interested in playing in the Infusion Solutions Fall Classic Racquetball tournament, please make sure to register by Sunday, November 11th. Sign up online or fill out an entry form at the Cordata Location and drop it off at the front desk! We want to thank Don and Rowena Birnel of Infusion Solutions for sponsoring this event! We are looking forward to filling the club with holiday vibes, good racquetball, and great company! Not a racquetball player? If you plan on using the club during tournament weekends, please remember that there will be a few extra people around- with so much activity in the Racquetball hallway it can get a bit crowded! It might not be a bad idea to give the downtown club a shot for a weightlifting or cardio workout. Of course, the racquetball community always welcomes new players and spectators, so feel free to join in on the fun if you find yourself at the Cordata Location. As always, if you have any questions about racquetball, feel free to contact Jessie Scott at racquetball@bellinghamathleticclub.com or give us a call at (360) 676-1800
