Tennis Court Etiquette
​Attire
Shirts are required at all times. Sleeveless shirts and tank tops are accepted, playing shirtless is strictly prohibited.
Always wear proper tennis shoes to protect the court surface and support your feet. Black-soled shoes are not allowed as they leave marks that are difficult to remove.
Respect and Courtesy
Show respect to everyone on and near the courts. Keep your voice low to avoid disrupting other players. If a disagreement arises with your opponent, resolve it off the court and away from others.
Crossing Courts
Never walk onto another court during a game. Wait for the players to finish the game or point before crossing. When you do cross, always go around the court, not through the middle.
Ball Retrieval
If your ball rolls onto another court, do not chase after it. Wait for the players to finish their game and politely ask for their help. Running onto another court during play is disruptive and disrespectful.
Proper Use of Courts
Tennis courts are strictly for playing tennis. Do not use them for activities like biking, rollerblading, or walking dogs. These actions can damage the court surface, leading to costly repairs.
​
Close the Gate
Always close the gate when entering or leaving the court. This keeps balls contained within the court area and prevents disruptions. Use the nearest entrance to the clubhouse.
​
Clean Up After Yourself
Do not leave trash or old tennis balls on the court. Use the provided trash bins or take your garbage with you when you leave.
Supervising Children
Children are welcome to play but must follow all rules. Adults accompanying children are responsible for ensuring they stay focused and don’t disrupt others by yelling, running around, or letting balls stray onto other courts.
Enjoy Yourself!
Remember, tennis is about having fun and getting great exercise. Following these etiquette guidelines ensures a positive experience for everyone on the courts.
