Our Priorities
- The health and well being of our members and their families
- That tennis is viewed as a sport that operates in a socially responsible way to ensure it is not removed from the short list of allowable activities.
Senior members
General Advice – Phase 1
- Members should not travel more than 5km to the tennis club
- Over 70’s should not play tennis in Phase 1
Overview – Strict Guidance
- Singles play is permitted
- Doubles play is only allowed when your playing partner is a member of the same household.
- Only club members are allowed play – No guests are allowed.
- The clubhouse and toilets will be closed. No members are allowed inside the clubhouse until advised in later Phases.
- Joe Flynn will have access to the clubhouse. Do not request access.
- Floodlights will not be available
- Court 2 will not be in play until advised.
Booking and Play Protocols
- Courts need to be booked in advance of play with each player registered on the court booking system – This is essential for contact tracing if required
- You are requested to arrive at the time of play, no hanging around waiting for courts
- You are only allowed use the court for 1 hour
- Leave immediately after your 1 hour is up – Do not wait for the next players to arrive.
- To reduce the risk of players coming in contact with each other we will be staggering courts with a 15minute break between each hour playing time.
- We will also be using different start times on each court
- The court booking system must undergo significant re-configuration. We will let you know as soon as we can when bookings can commence.
Other Considerations
- We are encouraging players to use 2 sets of tennis balls, one marked to ensure players are only handling their own tennis balls.
- All gates will be tied back open to avoid contact with surfaces
- Please use hand santisers provided before and after play
- Bring your own water to the club
- Do not leave any rubbish on the courts (Rubbish bins will be removed until further notice)
Junior members (Additional Considerations)
- Junior members will need to be supervised by one adult member/parent
- This adult member will need to check in with Joe Flynn, Club Caretaker (for the purpose of potential contact tracing)
- Junior Courts and practice wall are not in play at this time
Coaching
- Individual Coaching will be allowed with club coaches.
- Two members of the same family can receive coaching at the same time.
