Default VCU Tennis courts

I just recently started playing tennis again and remembered VCU has that bubble dome thing with some indoor courts. I'm a student there so I'm just curious if anyone knows what the deal is with who can use the courts and when they are open, can't find any info about it on VCU's website but just curious before I drive down there one evening this week and find it locked or off limits to regular students.

If anyone wants to just hit some balls around or play some games I'm down, I'm not very good but improving every time I go out and looking for some people to play with.

In a week or two I'll be up for hitting with you; I'm still recovering from a surgery I had a week ago, so I can't right now. Any idea what kind of courts they are?

Im pretty sure as long as its not being taken by a team or something then its fair game. I took that University 101 class last semester and she talked to us about the gyms and things. I try to find the number for like the Carey street gym and ask.

I'm up for it if you'd like. My serve sucks and ability is average, but still lots of fun. Most high schools in Henrico have tennis courts and are open to be used by anyone, no locks. Most do not have lights, though.

There are some courts in Brandermill at Swift Creek Middle school that people tend to use and the lights are on pretty often. Not sure how late though.
