FACILITY/SAFETY PROCEDURES

This

·
Face coverings are required for all persons
present, except for children under 10 years of age, who are exempt. For outdoor
venues, once attendees are seated and maintaining 6 feet physical distance from
others, face coverings may be removed. However, if moving around where social
distancing is not achievable, such as in food and beverage areas, or any area
where there is confinement such that 6 feet distancing cannot be maintained,
the face covering must be put back in place.
o
Athletes, Coaches, and Officials may be without
face covering during active play.
Facility Procedures
·
The tournament desk will be outside of the Pro
Shop.
·
The bathrooms will be open inside the tennis
center, but with a 4-patron limit at once.
Masks must be worn to enter the facility. Our staff and volunteers will monitor.
·
Players are expected to bring their own ice and
water.
·
Spectators will be instructed to bring their own
chairs. This will easily allow for
social distancing.
·
If rain occurs – players should wait in their car for further
instructions on the rain delay to be announced.
Safety Procedures
·
Do NOT play if you have any symptoms of COVID-19
(see the CDC Guidelines on the link above),
or are not feeling well.
·
Social distancing (6 ft) is required at all
times.
·
Bring your own hand sanitizer.
·
Wash your hands before AND after play.

Bring your own equipment (this includes water
bottles, towels, or any other personal equipment that is stored inside of your
tennis bag).
·
Maintain a safe, physical distance between
yourself and your opponent during the racquet spin at the start of the match.
·
Maintain physical distancing if changing ends of
court.
·
Avoid touching the net, fences and gates as much
as possible.
·
If a ball comes onto your court, use your
racquet to send the ball back.
·
Clearly verbalize the score at the start of each
point.
·
After the match, do NOT shake hands—do a racquet
tap, nod, thumbs up or “good match”, then leave the court and go report scores
immediately.
