August Box League Posted

Flex court renovations scheduled

Flex Court (all sports) will be closed beginning Thursday, July 28 through Monday, August 8. This court will reopen on Tuesday, August 9.

Court renovations to start soon

Portland YMCA squash courts are getting some wall maintenance!

The Flex court is scheduled to have substantial work on the front wall. The surface will be stripped, patched and refinished. The front and side walls will also be cleaned and repainted with red lines. The floors will be left as they are now.  Both small courts will have sidewalls patched and cleaned. Light bulbs are to be replaced too.

This work should start in a week or two and should take 7-10 days. We should expect that all squash courts will be out of action for the duration of the work.
