Member Compliance Guidelines
(Phase – 2)

Playing Tennis Safely

To Our Members:

As the Board continues to evaluate the information it receives in many different forms (government, other clubs, USTA, etc…) we always are keeping our staff and members safety in the forefront. As you know we have implemented a Phased approach that will allow us to open and play tennis in the safest way possible. Also, we have checked off all the government required questions that allows us to have a COVID-19 stamp of approval. This stamp is now posted at the Club house and our website.

With this, the Board has approved moving to Phase-2 Compliance Guidelines in our phased approach. Although restrictions have been eased at this time, safety precautions must remain in place until there is a universal vaccine or effective treatment for the coronavirus. The Board will continue to re-evaluate our Compliance Guidelines along with the information we receive as stated above.

It is imperative that ALL members and their guest follow these guidelines.  If you are asked by our staff to comply and refuse, you will be asked to forfeit your play.  Remember, we are monitoring and enforcing these guidelines for the safety of our staff and members.  If there are any concerns or questions you may have, you can always reach out to our Club Manager and/or one of the Board members.
