When playing

•  Players do not now need to use their own clearly marked tennis balls, however, if you choose to use shared balls then extra care must be taken to ensure you do not touch your face during play, and you should clean your hands before play and immediately after finishing (use alcohol gel if required).  Players should still avoid using their hands to pick up tennis balls from other courts where possible - use your racquet/foot to return them.
