Markin Indoor Warm-Up Courts
 
During the tournament, the indoor courts at Markin Racquet Center are used as warm-up for players with scheduled matches. The courts are available on a first come – first served basis. Players with scheduled matches will be given priority.
 
  • The courts will be open from 8:00 am until 6:00 pm. Players are expected to share and clean up after themselves.
 
Markin Indoor Warm-Up Court rules are as follows:
• Walk in and sign in - no advance sign-up for court time. Courts should be utilized with four players per court.
• General rules:
- Players will have at least a half hour to warm up before a match
- Players may play until they are bumped. It is highly unlikely that anyone will wait more that a half hour; generally they will be able to get right on court
 
The YMCA of Greater Kalamazoo (both Maple and Portage branches) are available for use by players with tournament ID. Indoor courts are available to all tournament players for $10 per hour at both Maple and Portage branches.
Warm up partner available

Water and Ice

For your information, water is available on all courts at both tournament locations, bring your own water cooler and ice if you want it. If you'll be using the local practice courts, bring your own cooler with water, as most don't have fountains.
