Due to the ongoing concerns of COVID-19, tournaments and the people who participate in them will need to follow the Arkansas Department of Health’s Directive for Community and School Sponsored Team Sports. Please click on the link above to access the State Directives.

This includes:
· 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 right outside the Pro Shop at the Tennis Center.
· The bathrooms will be open.
· We will not have ice and water available for the players. Players will need to bring their own.
· There will be minimal seating available for spectators, so we advise to bring your own lawn chairs.
· If it begins to rain, players should go straight to their cars and call the tournament desk to report their score. Players will need to wait in their cars for further instructions.

Safety Procedures
· Do NOT play if you have any symptoms of COVID-19 (see 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.
· Pick up your balls on court after the match and return them to the tournament desk.

WE ARE THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO HOST THE HSCC JR STATE CHAMPIONSHIP!
THE DATES HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO JUNE 26-28.

Due to some of the restrictions and protocols in place for Covid, we will not be having doubles in this year's event.
We will also be staggering some times so as not to have to many people at the facility at the same time.
More information on protocols will be forthcoming closer to the tournament.
