Policies Taken to Prevent Transmission of Covid
Tennis Office
- The office and bathrooms are cleaned thoroughly each morning; disinfectant will be sprayed on door and handle surfaces regularly as the teaching schedule progresses through the day.
- Masks must be worn when more than 1 person is present in the office.
- There is sufficient space for 2 players to sit and keep social distancing.
- Players in excess of 2 must wait outside prior to lesson/clinic start time and for pickups following.
- Players using the rest rooms are in addition to those in the waiting area, so after leaving the restroom, please exit the waiting area directly if 2 are already present. The same is true for the reverse so if the rest room is occupied, you must wait outside until it becomes available.
- The water dispenser located in the office is for the use of the instructors only; players should supply their own water.
Player Conduct
- If you feel unwell, please do not participate.
- Players shall enter the bubble no earlier than 5 minutes prior to your start time.
- Upon entry to the bubble, apply hand sanitizer which will be made available next to the revolving door.

- An example of the 6’ personal distance will be marked with tape near the entry point.

- Lessons/ clinics will begin the final ball pickup 5-10 minutes prior to the scheduled stop time to ensure that all exit in single file in a timely manner.
