Past experience on the court issue....
That may be true, but you can't design for a change of use unless you
know it. If it's designated as a racquetball court, then it needs to
be designed for that use. If the owner changes it, then it's
incumbent on him to get the local sprinkler contractor in and make
any changes necessary. The same with any building. That's why my
previous post said that the AHJ needs to get involved to discuss how
to handle this, which would include any incidental uses (Pilates
classes, etc).

If you go in almost any health club with these things...they become
closets and flex space all the time. Need to remodel the weight
room...where do you think it goes? Need to have a yoga or pilates
class, courts have lots of room, are well lit and no obstructions. You
get the point.
Sure, the courts out by the lobby will almost never get this treatment.
The last one in the back...if almost always a catch all space.
