- Parents/guardians/families/spectators are allowed provided they maintain proper social distancing
Reservation Process

Arrival / Check-in

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.
