Members & Social Members,

Well there is some good news regarding the COVID 19 latest restrictions!  You can still play tennis in a limited way.  You will only be able to play tennis with your family and or with one other person that is not part of your family.  It is your responsibility to abide by this rule for the safety of all participating in playing tennis.  To ensure that the 1.5 metres distant is maintained only one court per enclosure will be available for bookings, for a maximum time of 1.5 hours.  As such only courts 1,3,5,7 and 9 will be available.

Before you play

Please stay at home if you have been exposed to someone with COVID-19 in the last 14 days or have even mild flu-like symptoms. If you are in a high risk health category, please consider whether you should be playing tennis at any time during this period, please do not take unnecessary risks.

​

Behaviours

To protect against infection, you should:

• Wash/sterilise your hands before and after you play

• Avoid touching your face while playing.

• Do not share water bottles

• Bring your own bottle already full.

• Bring your own hand sanitiser

• Cover your coughs and sneezes with your elbow

• Be aware of what surfaces you touch and ensure you clean them after play

Book A Court Bookings

To ensure we can keep a record of each person who attends PTC, bookings are mandatory and all bookings must include the players you are playing with.  When making a booking you will need to use the ‘ADD PLAYER’ feature.  We would also encourage all facility users to download the COVIDSafe app to assist with participant tracking in the case of a positive COVID-19 test result of a participant.
