RETURN TO PLAY RECOMMENDATIONS USTA JUNIOR TOURNAMENTS Updated May 28, 2020
The United States Tennis Association (USTA)
recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic has been affecting different parts of the
country in different ways and with different timing. Therefore, we believe
safely returning to play will be possible in some cities and states sooner than
in others. Before doing so, please review federal, state and local guidelines
to make informed decisions as to when play can recommence. In addition to the Playing
Tennis Safely recommendations for players, facilities, and programming issued
by the USTA on April 22, 2020, available on tennisindustryunited.com, here are
some additional recommendations to consider when hosting a USTA Junior
Tournament.
Check with the host facility ahead of time for any protocols that may apply at
that facility.
Arrive at the facility close to assigned start time, ready to play, and depart
immediately
Bring their own water bottles, towel, or any other personal equipment and store
them inside their tennis bag when not in use.
Bring their own chairs and avoid sharing a bench with a teammate and/or
opponent.
Use headbands, hats, towels or wristbands to avoid touching their faces during
play.
Wash hands often (before / after matches.)
Clearly verbalize score at the start of each point and use technology to report
scores (email or text).
Maintain safe physical distance between players during the racquet spin at the
start of a match.
Maintain physical distancing if changing ends of the court.
Offer an acknowledgment such as a nod, a thumbs up or a “good match” instead of
shaking players’ hands.
