Atkins Tennis Center Indoor Courts
Atkins boasts six indoor courts with an upstairs viewing area. There are fees associated with indoor court use but the courts are open to the public. Random Indoor Court Time (RCT) allows players to make reservations for available open courts up to seven days in advance. Permanent Indoor Court Time (PCT) guarantees a group of players an indoor court for one and a half hours on a day and time determined by their group over an eighteen week period.
All users of the indoor courts must wear tennis shoes – running shoes will not be permitted. Any Atkins staff member reserves the right to refuse use of the court if a player is not wearing court shoes.
Permanent Court Time
Permanent indoor court time (PCT) allows a group of players to reserve an indoor court on the same day and time over an 18 week period for a one and a half hour block. Two 18 week sessions correspond with the University of Illinois’ fall and spring semesters. Exact session dates are listed below.
PCT Session Dates
Fall Session (17 weeks): September 9, 2012 - January 12, 2013
Spring Session (17 weeks): January 13 - May 4, 2013
Captains will be notified of any conflicts during the PCT session which would result in a cancellation of PCT on certain dates. Anyone who wishes to purchase PCT must fill out and sign a PCT form which is available at Atkins’ front desk. On the form each group must designate a captain who will be the contact person for the group. A $60 application fee must accompany the form and will be applied toward the purchase of PCT. PCT is allocated by means of a lottery system conducted in May for the following season. Once the lottery is complete, PCT may be reserved by selecting an open PCT court. PCT groups will be renewed automatically for the second session unless increased demand warrants a second lottery. PCT cannot be cancelled once a session has begun. Participants will receive an invoice in September for the fall session and in January for the spring session. The invoice will be payable at the Atkins Tennis Center front desk within 30 days of issuance. PCT prices reflect the total cost of a court for one of the 18 dates over a session. For example, a group who plays from 10:30 am to 12:00 pm on a weekday would share the total cost of $612 ($34 per date x 18 weeks). Below are the rates for PCT.
