Tennis Court Etiquette

Forward
The cooperation of all Members is needed to maintain a courteous and pleasant tennis atmosphere for the enjoyment of all who play tennis at the Club. Members who witness others displaying improper ethics or etiquette are asked to immediately inform a Tennis Staff Person. The Tennis Director is in full charge of the tennis facilities with the authority to interpret and enforce the Rules and Regulations.

The Tennis Director shall have the right to refuse Tennis Privileges to anyone who, in their judgment violates established rules and decorum. The Tennis Director may, at his discretion, allocate courts for activities, tournaments and Club functions as deemed appropriate. In the absence of the Tennis Director, authority may be delegated to an assistant.

Dress Code
Proper tennis attire is required on the courts at all times. Street clothes, running and/or beach attire is not permitted. Only non-marking tennis shoes or cross training shoes are permitted on the courts.

For men, collared shirts are preferred; tank tops and sleeveless shirts are prohibited. T-shirts are permitted ONLY with tennis related logos. Bermuda shorts for men and women are prohibited. All shorts must be above the knee. Women may wear sleeveless tops and tank tops designed for tennis. Warm-up suits, jackets and sweaters are permitted.

It is each Member's responsibility to inform their guests about the Club’s Dress Code. Players dressed inappropriately will be politely asked to comply. Players may not play unless dressed appropriately. Dress regulations apply to children.

Obtaining a Court
Players may sign up 6 days in advance in person or by phone. The maximum reservation time is for 1 1/2 hours. Players will forfeit their court if 15 minutes late, unless the Fitness Club is notified in advance.
