COURT BOOKING POLICY:
- Effective Sunday Nov 15th tennis/pickleball members have 2 court bookings per week.
- Your 2 per can be used for a court booking or to add your name to a wait list. See below for more on waitlists.
- Court bookings are from Sunday to Saturday
- Court booking Online is 7:00 am – 11:00 pm
- Members can be on the courts only 1 X per day
- Members can be on a court booking maximum 4 X per week. Sunday to Saturday. This is subject to change if we feel some members are still not getting fair time on the courts, we will scale the # of times per week back.
- If we find members are not following our guidelines, finding loop holes, hogging court time, then they are subject to court privileges being taken away.
- In the event members are still feeling they cannot book courts we will have the person who booked the court sign in up front with all players names.
- We now have doubles and singles court times, do not book a 1 1/2 hour time for tennis singles. Doubles only.
- There are NO singles times for pickleball.
- Members are not to be on the courts unless the court is booked.
- We do not want to see any courts empty! Therefore on same day booking if there is a tennis court or multi court open – anyone can book it if they have court bookings left. That may mean both pickleball and tennis at once
LEAGUES:
- If you are in a league – that is your 1 X per day use – do not book another court on the same day.
- Leagues count as part of your booking. If you are in a league it is 1 of your 4 times slots per week etc. 4 X per week is the limit for everyone.
- Leagues are a commitment – if we find members are cancelling out of league to be on another court time that day – they will loose their privilege to be on a that league.
- If members are ill please find a replacement of your level.
CANCELLATIONS:
- CANCELLATIONS – 24 hour notice – $40 No Show / Late Cancel Fee.
- When you late cancel you also forfeit your 1 court booking.
WAITLISTS:
- On each court we will are allowing 2 names on waitlists. This is subject to change.
- So far our waitlist system is helping, members are cancelling courts for others to use.
- With the 2 court bookings you get each week Sunday to Saturday – they can be used to book a court or add your name to a waitlist.
- If you put your name on a waitlist be aware and watch if you do get the court.
- When someone cancels your name it automatically added to the court.
- Members are sent a text to notify you that your name has been added to a court time.
- If you do not want the court reply N – if you want the court reply Y
- If your name is bumped up into a court because someones cancels then it is your responsibility.
- In order to get your one booking back for use – cancel your name off waitlist and you can then book a court.
- Be sure we have you set up to receive text services if you want to use waitlist option.

COURT ETIQUETTE:
- No Food, Drinks or Gum on courts – water only
- Social Distance – leave your court 5 minutes early – to avoid congestion.
- Be packed up, shoes changed and off your court by the time your court time is over. If it takes you 10 minutes to change your shoes then pack up accordingly.
- Wait until players are off the court before entering, they may be in the middle of a crucial point.
- Enter the door of the court you have booked once other players are off the court.
- Use soft voices while waiting.
- Return divider nets after use, next week Tuesday John will be repairing new nets so they are not lying on the ground.
- Remove your garbage
- Members can leave out the side door by Tennis Court 3/ Multi 3 a&b unless there are players on court. If you do use this door be sure it is secure behind you at all times.
- Do not use the doors behind the curtains at any time. This poses a security risk for the club, staff and members with homeless wondering into warm places.
