  • You must maintain social distancing practices between yourself and others at all times

  • While hand sanitiser will be available on site bring your own to have with you at all times when you play

  • We’re currently not hiring out any equipment, please bring your own equipment however Tennis Balls and some other equipment will be available for purchase at reception by card payment only

  • If parking within the car park remember to inform reception so that your registration number can be recorded to avoid a fine

  • There's no access to the drinking water fountains. If you require drinking water please ask at reception

During your activity

  • Follow directional signage to your court or pitch

  • You cannot leave any equipment at the centre and all equipment must be taken away after session - this includes any equipment typically left in lockers

  • You’ll be told in advance which court you’ve been allocated

  • You may only use the court you’ve been allocated – don’t stray onto any adjoining courts

  • All users must remain at least 1m from any other player, coach or centre staff

  • Follow any instructions given to you by members of our staff

  • Try to minimise touching anything other your own equipment

  • All sessions must end on time. This would typically require all users to leave the surfaces 10 minutes prior to the next booked session or before the close of the building

  • Each group should not hinder the next group accessing the court or pitch for their pre-booked sessions and refrain from social gatherings with other groups


Leaving the site

  • When you finish your activity, please leave the centre straight away

  • Take care in the car park and, if there are people near your car, wait for them to go before you get into yours. Just as with your activity, don’t have social gatherings in the car park

  • Ensure you have entered your vehicle’s registration before leaving to obtain the four hours free parking for tennis
