all of your matches on Saturday. As per USTA COVID regulations, you

your own chair to use on court.
Players should check in and be ready to play (warmed up, stretched,
and been to the restroom) at least 15 minutes before the match
start time. You will be expected to leave the facility as soon as

bottom line player will utilize the white score tube. Be sure to
take your score tube balls with you before you leave the court. We
will be cleaning the score tubes between matches.
Due to COVID water and ice will not be provided. We recommend that
each player brings a cooler and plenty of water.
If a court is open, we will get matches started asap in order to
avoid any delays later in the day!
