Tennis court use guidelines

Casual tennis play rules and code of conduct

• To claim a court, 2 to 4 players can stand facing it while waiting.
• Courts are open to players of all ages.
• Wear only rubber-soled, non-marking shoes.
• If other players are waiting, each court session is limited to 30 minutes, including warm-up.
• Player substitutions are allowed, but do not extend the 30-minute time limit.
• Permitted court users can exceed the 30-minute time limit. 
• Courts are reserved exclusively for tennis. No other activities, including pickleball, are permitted.
