Covid-19 Checklist for Players

Use this checklist to make sure you have a hassle-free return to tennis!

Make sure you feel 100% well, if in doubt, please don’t play
Ensure you have court booked for the right time and that your opponent is included
Use the toilet and wash your hands
Pack water, towel, marked tennis balls and hand sanitiser
Don’t forget your sunglasses and a hairband/clips if required
Consider if you want to wear protective glasses and a mask, if so bring these too

Park in clear spot leaving gap from other cars if possible (bike racks will be located on the mini courts for those cycling)
Keep 2 metre distance from anyone leaving or arriving at the club
Follow directions into the club
Check in with the Compliance Supervisor
Use hand sanitiser to clean hands, remember to keep your social distance
Follow recommended route to booked court
Each player should leave their gear at different ends of the court
Start enjoying playing tennis immediately

Remember to only serve and pick up your own set of tennis balls – see Paul Casey’s Court Etiquette tips here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi-GvCb1j9k
If opponent’s balls are on your side of court use foot and racquet to hit ball back. Same applies to balls coming from adjacent courts
Try to avoid touching your eyes and nose/mouth for whole match
Change ends in a clockwise direction (opposite to each other)
Finish promptly after 50 minutes

Pack all your gear into bag (We recommend putting racket in black rubbish bag and balls back in tin. Remember that anything left behind will have to be binned.)
Leave court following recommended route keeping 2 meters from your opponent and players on other courts as you pass.
Use the hand sanitiser at exit.
Leave club grounds immediately
