Sports & Fitness Areas & Rules
Orientation
The first rule in the use of all CWC areas and equipment is “safety first”. Before using any facility equipment, an orientation by one of our staff or volunteers is suggested. See the check-in desk for a schedule.
Everyone Plays
Equal opportunity and safety for all ages are important concerns for the CWC. We must at times limit priority of equipment or facility in order to give everyone a chance to play. If there are people waiting for the batting cage, golf cages, or fitness equipment there is a limit of 30 minutes. If there are people waiting for the sports court there is a limit of 1 hour. If someone is waiting for the racquetball court there is a limit of 30 minutes without a reservation and 1 hour with a paid reservation. This is the rule for all regardless of age. At the CWC everyone plays and everyone wins.
Availability and Reservations for Fitness
Patrons may reserve any area or machine in the facility if there is not a scheduled program taking place. There will be a reservation fee of $1.00 for members and $2.00 for non-members for cardio exercise machines, batting cage, golf cages and racquetball with a 1-hour time limit. Other area such as the multipurpose room are available to rent for $10 an hour. Once you make your payment, it will guarantee a specific time you can use that machine are area. The check-in staff will reserve that area for you. If you are 10 minutes late you will forfeit your time slot if another person or group is waiting. There are no refunds for reservations. Reservationsfor the cardio equipment, batting and golf cages, and racquetball court may be made 1 - 7 days a head of time and no time slots back to back. There is no fee to use any area of the complex on a first come, first serve basis.

Equipment
Roller-blades, roller-skates or skateboards are NOT allowed to be used inside the facility. Baby strollers are allowed after the wheels are cleaned. Proper use of equipment is expected. Any person not respecting the building or equipment will be warned and then asked to leave the CWC. Equipment is available to use while at the CWC. You may bring your own ball or equipment if it is clean and in good working order. The CWC is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Tracking System
Each piece of equipment and area in the facility will have a record system. The record system for the racquetball, batting cage, golf cages, sports court, wrestling room, and multi-purpose room will be at the check-in desk. You must register at the desk anytime you are working out in one of those areas excluding the sports court. The check-in staff will let you know how long you have priority in that area. Each piece of cardio exercise equipment will each have a clipboard on it. Everyone that uses the equipment must sign the clipboard before they start their workout. If someone comes after you to workout on that same piece of equipment they will write their name down in the half hour slot after you. Once you’ve worked out for ½ hour you must change possession. This clipboard will have any paid reservations stating when it will not be available. We reserve the right to utilize the complex’s facility for special events, private parties, meetings or other activities we deem desirable.

Walking/Running Track
The indoor track is available for all to use. Approximately ten laps around the track is equivalent to one mile. Slower pace walkers use the outside area while faster runners stay closer to the inside. Note the directional arrows by the track to be sure you are walking in the correct direction (the direction changes daily).

Racquetball and walleyball are both excellent aerobic and social activities. You must sign in at the check-in desk before using the racquetball court.
