Northfield is first of its kind in region Prior to designing Northâ€" field, existing clubs in Ontario and the eastern USA were researched carefully. The club has borrowed some good ideas that they saw in their travels and has hopeâ€" fully avoided some design pitfalls that were commitâ€" ted elsewhere. The design integrates the three racquet sports and brings them toâ€" gether much better than many other clubs. Considerable attention was paid to obtaining the best lighting, the best court surfaces and the best energy management systems availâ€" able. The fee structure at Northfield will comprise an annual membership fee plus hourly court costs. There will be no initiation fees, shares to purchase or any other upâ€"front costs. It is hoped that the cost package will encourage the broadest possible crossâ€"section of community people to get involved and enjoy the club. Interestingly enough, Northfield will be the first club in the region to offer racquetball, the new racquet sport that has had such a phenomenal growth rate in the USA and western Canâ€" ada. Racquetball is played on an enclosed court 20‘x40‘x®\ 20‘ high. It is an easier sport to learn than either tennis or squash in that a new playâ€" er can gain enough profiâ€" ciency in a short time to play well enough to feel competent on the court. The game is fast, fun and great exercise and is played with a racquet that resemâ€" bles a tennis racquet but with a much shorter handle. Although the game is usualâ€" ly played with two players, three and four player games are possible. Northfield is conveniently situated one block west of the Conestoga Parkway at the Northfield Drive interâ€" change in Waterloo. It is within minutes by car of the downtown cores of both Waterloo and _ Kitchener and in addition will be served by the City transit system.
