Safeguarding at SHTC

The LTA have asked every Tennis Club to nominate a Welfare Officer who will oversee the protection of children and safeguard their interests. The Welfare Officer at SHTC is Floyd Whittick.

There is a poster in and outside the clubhouse with his contact details. If you have any concerns they must be reported to her immediately. We also have a Code of Conduct that every member is asked to sign up to: this is to ensure a safe and inclusive environment both on and off the courts. We also ask every member to read our Safeguarding and inclusion and Diversity policies that are posted on our website. There are also hard copies of these policies in the clubhouse.

Thank you for your cooperation and support for these policies.

General Rules 

As a full member, you will receive a CODE to the front gate.  No keys are needed to access the courts. Appropriate sporting attire must be worn at all times - no vests or bare chests please.  To protect the court surface, tennis specific shoes must always be worn on court.

Playing Rules

Social club play:  Wednesday evening, Saturday & Sunday afternoons.

All full club members are welcome to participate in social club play.  On Wednesdays, from 6:30pm and from 3pm to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Doubles play has priority over singles play on club days/nights. Singles shall not be played when all courts are in use and other members are waiting.  

1. When you arrive, put your racket down next to the main court gate indicating you are the next person available to play.
2. If only two people are playing on a court, feel free to join them to make up a four.
3. On completion of a set, players should vacate the court and await their turn for the next free court.
4. If your set reaches 6-6 and other members are waiting to play, then you should not play a tie breaker.  If no one is waiting, playing a tie breaker is fine.
5. When a member arrives to play, they have a priority to go on to the next available court ahead of those who have already played a set.
6. After a set has been completed, players must leave the court and wait their turn for the next available court by placing their racquets along the fence near the main court entrance.
7. It is also advisable to sweep the courts before playing to reduce the risk of injury.
