Tennis Rules and Guidelines
Tennis Rules
-
Tennis shoes and shirts are required.
-
Team matches, tournaments, group lessons and special events sponsored by the Club will have priority on the courts.
-
When at all possible, one court will always be considered ‘open’ for recreational use and not
scheduled for team play, lessons or other reserved purposes.
-
When arriving to courts, you must sign in for the court. There is a tennis bulletin board with clock and white board. The whiteboard is divided into 6 parts, each representing a court. Please sign in for appropriate court as follows: Sun/Michaud/ 2:30pm. This process will allow others waiting to see when the court is available if they are waiting. Please check tennis calendar for lesson and match schedules.
-
Doubles play is limited to one and one half hours when players are waiting and singles play to one hour. Please "bump' with courtesy.
-
Lights are available for night time playing. There is a metal box near the tennis bulletin board for Courts 1, 2 and 3 and another metal box outside gate by court #4 for courts 4, 5 and 6. Press the green button once and allow a few minutes for lights to turn on and heat up. Please press the red "off" button when leaving.
-
No in-line skating, roller skates, skateboards, bicycles or ball games of other types are allowed on the tennis courts or on the sidewalks around the courts.
