PREPARING TO PLAY

COVID-19 is still spreading in Westchester County.  Please do your part to protect against infections:

  • Stay home if you are sick or have a fever, someone in your house is sick, if you have been exposed to COVID-19 in the past 14 days, or if you have allergies and can’t control sneezing or coughing.
  • Respect other members’ need for personal space and keep a distance of 6 feet from others that are not in your party.
  • Wash your hands with a disinfectant soap and water (for 20 seconds or longer), or use a hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available, before going to the court.
  • Clean and wipe down your equipment, including racquets and water bottles. Do not share racquets or any other equipment such as wristbands, grips, hats, and towels.
  • Bring a full water bottle. All water fountains are turned off.
  • If you need to sneeze or cough, do so into a tissue or upper sleeve.
  • Arrive as close as possible to your reservation time.

WHEN PLAYING:

  • Please avoid touching any surfaces (gates, fences, balls, score signage, nets, etc). Benches are currently removed.
  • Each member should bring a new can of her/his own tennis balls and only touch his/her tennis balls during play. Please mark your own tennis balls and/or use different colored tennis balls per side.
  • If someone else’s ball ends up on your side of the court, please use your racquet or foot to move the ball over to your playing partner on the other side of the court.
  • Members should bring his/her own water, sunscreen, and towel.
  • Try to stay at least six feet apart from other players not in your party.
