Court Etiquette – The Glens Tennis Club

Be courteous on and around the courts
Leave the court area tidy, lock unoccupied courts, and turn off the lights when leaving
Show consideration for those living near the courts by not making unnecessary noises
Respect players by keeping loud conversations or comments to a whisper
Remain on your court; do not walk onto an adjacent occupied court
Do not chase after a ball when it gets away onto the adjacent court; wait for a stoppage in play and politely say ‘Ball please’
Wait for a break in play and then walk around the playing area to get to the second court when moving onto the courts to play
Do not intentionally bang or scrape the court with your racquet
Keep infants and children off the courts; babysitting and tennis do not mix
Respect the presence of players on adjacent courts by minimizing ‘through the fence’ conversations
All manners of rough play, fighting, heated arguments, vandalism or abusive language constitutes an unreasonable level of un-sportsmanship character and will not tolerated by The Glens Tennis Club or the City of Ottawa. Membership can be revoked.
