Amenities
We believe in equipping our members to succeed in sport and in life, which is why our amenities extend well beyond the court. Depending on your regimen, we can oblige patrons with a nutritious post-workout smoothie or just an ice-cold beer. But beyond food and drink, the Little Rock Athletic Club offers everything you’d expect and many things you wouldn’t including massage, a pro shop, on-site market, child care and plenty more.
Need food to fuel superior athletic achievement? Or if you just want to grab a sandwich and a drink and watch others exert themselves from one of the most unique vantage points in the city, the Blue Court Grill is the perfect venue. Overlooking our “blue” tennis courts, the full-service restaurant offers a delicious selection of menu items along with domestic and imported beer and wine to enjoy while watching your favorite sporting event on the flat screen high definition TV. You can even call ahead of time and we’ll have your order ready after your workout.

While we are all born with some athletic limitations that may preclude us from someday hoisting the hardware on Centre Court at Wimbledon, there is no reason we can’t dress the part. Whether you need the latest gear for fitness, yoga, aquatics, tennis or casual wear for every day life, we carry all of the top lines, including Nike, Tail, Pearl Izumi, Life Is Good and Bolle. We feature Wilson and Prince tennis racquets, Wilson and Ektelon racquetball racquets, Pearl Izumi running shoes, Oakley sunglasses, Polar heart rate monitors and, of course, LRAC logo shirts.
Plus we stock all of the accessories and essentials that tend to get worn out, lost or left behind, including batteries, headphones, weightlifting gloves, socks, goggles and grip tape. For racquet sport devotees, we offer racquet-stringing services. Members can also take advantage of our “try before you buy” equipment rental program.

FOOD AND SUPPLIES
In order to keep all our children happy, we ask that meals not be brought to the Day Care because “happy meals” cause those without to be very unhappy. Snacks are welcome but for the safety of our little members, please don’t bring popcorn, grapes, gum, peanuts or peanut butter. All drinks brought into the Day Care area must be in labeled containers with lids.
Please furnish all requisite items such as diapers, pacifiers, bottles, extra change of clothes, etc. for your child’s use during the duration of his or her stay. Diapers will not be provided by the Club. All supplies should be labeled with your child’s name and be brought in a bag with your child’s name on it.
FEES
First child: $3 per hour
Each additional child: $2.50 per hour
Guest children: $3.00 per hour (assuming space is available)
Receive a 20% discount when you purchase a 20-hour block of time.
SAFETY
Your child’s safety is our utmost concern. All of our Day Care employees are screened using the Child Maltreatment background check available through the Department of Human Services. Additionally, we perform a criminal background check through Background Information Systems of America on all Club employees. For your peace of mind, children will only be released to parents or a designated guardian as specified on the information sheets we maintain in your child’s file or the daily sign-in sheet.
