USTA/
USTA Southern Section Member Organization of the Year
Valued member,
Thank you for your membership, your
support and your patience since March 13 through this COVID-19 Pandemic. I hope
you and yours are doing well. All of us, members and staff, have been affected
in every aspect of our lives by the current health crisis. Here at the club, operations have been
changing and everything is certainly more challenging for all of us at the club
members and staff. Not the spring and
summer we are used to, for sure. You
have been outstanding in your support for the club and outstanding in support
of and adherence to new club policies. We
greatly appreciate you and looking forward to the fall season.
As a Reminder – wash hands or use the
sanitizer provided by the club, keep a minimum 6ft social distance, bring your
own water, and stay safe in all you do.
Do not come to the club if you are sick OR experiencing any of these symptoms: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty
breathing, loss of taste or smell or have been around anyone experiencing these
symptoms or who has had a positive test regardless of symptoms.

Indoor Tennis
Ventilation Project / Safety Policies / Operational Rules
Project will begin Tuesday, September
8 and will finish by September 22.
During the construction process we
apologize in advance for any noise pollution and other distractions associated
with this project.
We are extremely excited to
communicate a new Indoor Ventilation Project which is now under contract and
will be completed by mid-September. This project consists of ventilation fans
and ventilation louvers which allow us to replace the air inside the building
with fresh air at a rate of 2 to 5 times per hour! We believe
this fresh air exchange system’s performance exceeds that of similar systems at
other indoor tennis facilities in the area. The board has been considering
this upgrade for several years. The board recently voted to accelerate the
fresh air initiative to help improve the safety indoor court playing conditions.
While it is not possible to eliminate all risk associated with playing tennis
indoors or outdoors, we believe the new fresh air system will be a positive
change in the playing environment.
In addition the board working
with club management is in the process of developing
the operating procedures of the indoor
court play. We expect that changes in the state and local regulations may have
some effect on the Indoor facility operations. The one significant change will
be a 5-minute decrease in scheduled playing time. This is necessary to provide
time for an orderly exit and entry of players from the building.
Below are some of the operating
rules we will use to improve the safety of our indoor facility.
-
Entrance will be at
the front door
-
Exit will be at the
back door
-
No walking to and
from courts behind the blue tarps, walking on back side of the court for entry
and exit
-
A buzzer will sound
for the end of the session. When the buzzer sounds, you must stop play, collect
your belongings and leave the court. The next group can’t enter the
building until you leave, so there will be no more continuing play until you
see the next group – you have to just leave.
-
Face coverings will
be mandatory upon entry and exit
-
During inclement
weather, there can be entry and exit at front door, but distancing must be maintained
and masks are mandatory as always.
-
No waiting or
congregating in the lobby area
-
Keep minimum 6 ft
distance from others at all times
If you have other ideas for
consideration that you believe would improve safety or improve efficiency,
please let us know.
