Guidelines for a Progressive Return to Playing Tennis Safely
at the Mono Tennis Club
Effective May 18, 2020

    

• Play only with members of your own family/household or other people who are low risk.  
  Do not play if you are feeling unwell. 
• Wash your hands before coming to the court and bring hand sanitizer with you.
• Wear gloves/use hand sanitizer when unlocking the gate.
• Unless playing with members of your own family/household, play only singles.
• Doubles is permissible only if, on both sides of the net, people are partnering with another person from the same household.
• When playing with someone not a member of your household each player is to use their own can of balls, the balls to be personally identified with a marker.  Touch only the balls that are yours and use your racquet or foot to send a ball to the other player.
• During play, maintain a 2-metre distance from the other player at all times.
• Avoid touching the net or the netposts.
• At the end of play choose an alternative to shaking hands to express good sportsmanship.
• Leave the court at ten minutes to the hour to make way for those signed up to play after you.
• If others are clearly waiting to follow you onto the court, you can leave the gate open.  
  Otherwise close and lock the gate, again wearing a glove/using hand sanitizer.
• When waiting for your time slot to begin, wait outside the fence for the previous players to exit.
• Note that the clubhouse is closed at this time, and the washroom in the Mono Community Centre is only cleaned weekly.
• You might consider wearing a mask while entering and exiting the court if you are concerned it might be difficult to maintain physical distancing. 
• Be alert at all times to protect your health and the health of your fellow club members.
