Wed, 29 Apr 2020 00:00

Great news! Following the Welsh Government update, our courts are reopening on Monday 22nd June

Before playing. please ensure you have read the following rules we have put in place in order to comply with Welsh Government / LTA Restrictions. 

COURT BOOKINGS / PRIVATE PLAY

  • Court usage is limited to members only, new members are always welcome and a form is available via the club website. New member enquiries should be sent to barryathtennis@gmail.com and there is a 50% reduction from 30th June. 
  • Due to limited activity on-site, we do not consider there to be need for a court booking system. We would request that members cease their game after 60 minute should others be waiting to play. 
  • Anyone waiting is requested to remain a safe distance back from the courts.
  • Both Singles and Doubles play is permitted (doubles partners should be from the same household). 
  • Drop-In club sessions will not run but members are encouraged to arrange games at these times. 
  • A full members WhatsApp Group has been launched for games of tennis to be arranged - please email barryathtennis@gmail.com for an invite link. 
  • Each player should bring their own tennis balls with their initials on to handle/serve. To send someone else’s ball back to them, please kick / roll / flick up and hit it. 
  • All court fixtures have been removed and gates can be left ajar to avoid contact points. 
  • The clubhouse remains closed.
  • Please observe and adhered to all on-site signage and markings.
  • View the Tennis Squad Infographic on playing safely.
