Tennis Player Etiquette
Please follow these guidelines to make Mercy HealthPlex Tennis an enjoyable experience for everyone.
-
Reserve a Tennis Court to ensure that one is available when you want to play. Sign up at the Service Desk or call 624-1880.
-
Use the court number that has been assigned to you. Double check your reservation at the Service Desk before entering your court.
-
Check the time before entering the court. If the court is in use, do not enter until your reserved time begins.
-
Leave the court when your reserved time is up. Pick up balls and equipment before exiting the court.
-
Pick up tennis balls, baskets, towels, trash and personal items before exiting the court.
-
Do not enter a court when a point is in session. Wait until the end of a point to inform the current players that your court reservation has begun.
-
Wear TENNIS SHOES ONLY and be sure that they are clean and free of dirt and rocks.
-
Runners and walkers on the track have the right of way. Look both ways before exiting the court and yield to anyone using the track.
-
Be aware that runners and walkers are on the other side of the curtain - the curtain will not stop you if you run into it.
