Priority for use of the Gymnasium, or one of the three courts, goes to scheduled events and activities. All events and activities must be scheduled through the Director of Recreation. If an event or activity is in session, please do not disturb participants. Inquire at the Malley Center Front Desk for the event end time or see the Weekly Activity Schedule posted outside the Gymnasium. All activity schedules are posted online and can be found at Campus Recreation Calendar. Visit our website to ensure the courts will be open when you arrive.
