We're Taking Extra Steps to Stay Healthy This Summer

Tennis Programming Formats

• Tennis programming includes casual play, permanent court time, private and small group lessons and drills, match play and other formats that maintain social distancing

Social Distancing

• All tennis programming and interaction is designed to maintain 6 foot social distancing
• Parents/guardians/families/spectators are allowed provided they maintain proper social distancing

Reservation Process

• Tennis reservations will be made by telephone, email, text, etc. to minimize in-person interaction
• All reservations much be paid by member account or credit card – no cash

Arrival / Check-in

• Players should arrive no earlier than 10 mins prior to their reservation
• Players should check-in at the front desk while maintaining social distancing with others
• Players should wait to be called to their court or after the previous group has left the court

On-Court

• Instructors will remind players of tennis protocols
• Tennis instructors will practice regular hand washing/sanitizing
• Non-essential equipment has been removed from court areas
• Tennis Pros will have their own assigned baskets and balls. Pros will pick up all balls they feed
• For serving practice, players will provide and use their own “marked” tennis balls. Instructors will not handle these balls.
• For match play, servers will serve with their own marked balls and opponents/partners roll or hit balls back to the server without handling the server’s tennis balls. Once a server has completed that game the new server serves with their balls.
• Tennis instructional equipment will be touched only by the assigned Pro and will be cleaned after use
• Demo racquets are not presently available - their usage and handling protocols are being evaluated

After Play

• Players will be asked to leave the court before the next tennis player(s) arrive
• Players will be asked to not congregate in the club
• Parents/guardians/families/spectators are allowed provided they maintain proper social distancing

Players

• Players should bring their own sports drinks/water – they are also available for purchase at the front desk
• Players should limit switching ends of the court – any switching should be in a clockwise direction
• Players should leave their tennis gear on opposite sides of the court and at least 6 feet from others
• Players should keep towels and other personal items in their bags between use during play
• Players should not touch others equipment, gear, etc.
• Practice good sportsmanship – replace handshakes, high-fives, etc., with the wave of a hand or racquet
