Tennis Etiquette
    • Players will be bumped from courts after 1-1/2 hours and all courts are full.
    • Appropriate tennis attire must be worn. Cutoffs, running shorts, jogging shoes, and basketball shoes are not permitted.
      Shirts must be worn at all times. Bathing suits are not allowed on the tennis courts.
    • Since it may distract others, conversation on or near the courts should be held to a minimum.
    • It is improper to retrieve a ball from a court that has a ball in play or to walk by the rear of the court or near any of the lines.
      Balls should be returned to the proper court at the first opportunity.
    • Clear courts quickly and quietly when the time has expired and others are waiting to play.
    • Criticism of your partner or opponent is not proper.
    • When the ball is in play and umpires are not available, line calls are made by the player who is receiving the ball. If the ball cannot be called out, it is good.
    • Gates to the courts are to be closed except when entering or leaving.
