Tennis World Middlesbrough

Good News – we can now use our Outdoor courts - Tennis and Padel, ONLY.

Below are the rules within which we can do this, and at this time we cannot step outside of these rules and guidelines, which have come from Government and the LTA. We ask that you adhere to them so we can all benefit from our club being re-opened in this limited capacity outside.

General Rules

There will be a one way system to follow
Clubhouse and bar will remain closed
You must bring your own courtime refreshment e.g. water. Water will be available to buy in bottles from Reception, the water cooler remains out of use
All litter without exception you take home with you, or place in waste bins – do not leave around
You must leave the premises as soon as you have completed play
The booking sheet has been adjusted to reflect staggered booking times
There will be a 15 minute gap between court bookings to allow people to leave and new players to arrive
Courts should be booked and paid for in advance via our website
Any payments that need to be taken at the club can either be done so as contactless with the card machine, or taken over the phone using a Virtual Terminal – courts must be paid for in advance
NO cash payments will be taken - it has to be online or contactless
Second hand racquets which are clean are available to buy
Do not share benches together
Wash your hands before arrival and after leaving
There will be a sanitisation point for when you arrival

Tennis

Do not change ends
It is preferable that you use your own equipment and balls. Hire equipment is available
There will be clear markings on access and exit from courts
Courts at times will have designated playing or coaching use – please follow the booking for each
You must wear a glove on your non playing hand – there are disposable gloves provided next to the sanitisation point

Padel

Do not change ends

Coaching

One on one coaching will be allowed
No change of ends
Safe distance between coach and player will be adhered to i.e. 2 metres
NO cash payments will be taken so coaches and their customers need to arrange their payment processes but cash is not to be transacted

It’s great to be able to get back on court even in this limited sense, but it is of paramount importance you all follow these rules and guidelines until further notice both for yours and everyone’s safety, health and well-being, and to ensure no indiscretions lead to a forced closure.

Thank you in advance and stay safe
