AAYTE Court Rules
AAYTE just opened a brand new state of the art tennis and education facility. Therefore, there are specific rules that need to be addressed and followed when dealing with the courts.
The rules are as follows: NO RACQUET BAGS, FRUIT DRINKS, SODA, SPORTS DRINKS, FOOD, CHAIRS OR GUM ALLOWED ON THE COURTS AT ANY TIME. Water is the only drink permitted on the court.
Your racquet bags may be placed at the entrance to your court and on change overs you will be able to go to your racquet bag as needed. In cases of emergency, i.e. a string breaks, you will be able to go to your bag immediately.
