Tennis Rules, in Brief

1.

Tennis Dues must be paid in advance, as only members fully paid up with their regular club and tennis dues may use the courts. This includes participation in children’s clinics, private lessons, drop-in round robins and court time.  Be sure to pay your dues fully early in May with your club dues.
2. Required footwear is Tennis Shoes with smooth flat soles which must be worn on the clay courts.  Other shoes such as running or cross-trainers can ruin the clay court surface and are expressly prohibited.
3. Court Sign-up may only be made two (2) days in advance.  Singles is limited to one hour, doubles to one and half hours.
4. Sign-up is limited to once per day.  If you would like to play a second time during the same day, you need to do so on a first-come, first-serve basis.
5. Children of members cannot sign up for courts during prime time (weekdays after 5pm and Sat/Sun up to noon), but may play if courts are not being used,  and at all other times.
6. Guests MUST BE SIGNED IN AT ALL TIMES on the daily sign-up sheet.  Simply write down your name legibly and the number of guests on the bottom of the sign-up sheet.  The guest fee is $5 per guest and will be billed to your account.
7. Prospective members may only play if invited by a member, and as guests must be signed in.
8. No-Show fee of $10 will be billed to you if you cannot make the time you signed-up for. Even if it is at the last minute, please make the effort to erase your name as this will allow others to use the court.
9. NO RIDING bicycles, tricycles, scooters, skateboards, or other wheeled- recreational vehicles or toys on club grounds.
10. Backboard use is allowed between 9 am and 5 pm.  Be considerate of our neighbors and don’t hit against the backboard before or after this time.
