A group of four players will be permitted to play one complete set after which any waiting players must be invited to play in rotation.

Sign Up Rule: This rule is operative at all times except during Women's Round Robin and Men's open play, regardless of whether all are in use or there are people waiting to play. Players who fail to sign-up may be required to give up the court to people waiting to play. The sign-up rule operates as follows:
1) Players taking an available court must register on the sign-up board giving name, starting time and court being used.
2) If all courts are in play, players must register their names and time of arrival on the waiting list.
3) To preserve a position on the waiting list, at least one member of the party to use the court must remain continuously on Club grounds from time of sign-up to time of play.
4) Two or more members of the party must be available and ready to play at the time a court opens. In the event that two members are not available and ready within five (5) minutes of the time that a court opens, then a party must move their names to the end of the waiting list.
Etiquette: Proper tennis etiquette is crucial to everyone's enjoyment of the use of the courts. For this reason, etiquette will be emphasized within the Junior program. Because the courts do not have individual entrances, all players must be very careful to wait play is over before crossing behind any court and then when doing so, doing it both quickly and quietly. If any one uses the pool exit to exit any courts, it is vitally important to remove any trace of Har-Tru from your shoes in order not to track it throughout the pool deck.
The use of cellular telephones on the courts is strictly prohibited. If receiving a call, the member must vacate the court and carry on the call on the tennis deck. If the call lasts longer than five (5) minutes the member and other players may lose their use of the court in the event other players are waiting. Those players would be required to re-list their names on the wait list on the deck.
Dress Code: All players (including, adults, juniors and guests) are required to wear proper tennis attire while using the courts. Only clothing designed for tennis play is acceptable. We do not permit t-shirts. Refer to the tennis letter for dress code details.
Tennis shoes with smooth bottoms will be the only footwear permitted. This is to prevent injury but also to avoid costly damage to the court surface.
The Tennis Committee requests the cooperation of all members in observing and helping to enforce this code. Parents should take care to see that all junior players understand and observe these rules. All club members are asked to help enforce these rules. If necessary, the Pro or any member of the Tennis Committee may assist you.
Final Rule: These rules are developed to reduce uncertainty but cannot possibly cover every circumstance. The final rule calls for courtesy, consideration for others and friendly cooperation. As an illustration, those playing challenge matches should be permitted to finish even though the court may be occupied by them for more than sixty (60) minutes.
Schedule and Activities: Consult your tennis letter for this year's weekly schedule, tournaments and socials and check the bulletin boards.
