Gymnasium
Due to the COVID19 pandemic, gym availability may be limited during high participation dates and times. In order to maintain social distancing, we are offering sign up for open gym. By signing up for a specific date and time slot for open gym, you will be guaranteed entry into the gym. Walk-ups are still available but preference will be given to those who sign up. We will be using Sign-Up Genius to reserve open gym spots. Instructions on how to create an account and reserve gym spots are located on the right hand banner of this page.

Pickleball is a fun game which combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. The game is played with wooden paddles and a waffle ball the size of a baseball. Ordinarily this game is played on a tennis or badminton court, but ERC has moved it indoors to the gymnasium & racquetball courts. Pickleball is easy for beginners to learn, but can also be a competitive game for the experienced players.
