Court Usage Policy

The following notes are intended to be a guide to facilitate the smooth running of the club.

1. Matches

League matches on Saturday and Sunday mornings are scheduled for a duration of 3 hours, as we are required to allow this amount of time for completion by competition rules. In practice, however, courts will often be available for social play earlier than shown on the chart. The same applies for friendly matches against local clubs which take place midweek.

2. Social play

[N.B. these rules currently do not apply due as they are superseded by coronavirus-related rules] The summer season is 1 April to 30 September: the winter season is 1 October to 31 March. A board system is in place to ensure movement and mixing in, but please note that at quiet times (where there are fewer than 8 players) the player waiting to go on court is requested to include other waiting players before selecting players coming off court.
During club times it is requested that the knock-up is restricted to five minutes.
At all times a short set (one more game at 5 games all) is to be played if other members are waiting.

3. Coaching

Please direct any queries on coaching to head coach Holly Richards on coach@kolt.org.uk, or phone 07929 064465.
