TENNIS & PICKLEBALL Court use, reservations, etiquette, and safety

Verandah Club is a very active racquet sport community. Tennis and pickleball are excellent ways for tenants to meet people, get outside, and settle into the community rhythm quickly.

SPORT

WHAT TENANTS SHOULD KNOW

Tennis

There are five Har-Tru (clay) tennis courts; all courts are used on a reservation basis; appropriate shoes must be worn.

Pickleball

There are eight pickleball courts; open play may be available, but tenants should check the current schedule because clinics, events, lessons, and maintenance can take court time.

Lessons and clinics

Lessons or clinics may be available through Club professionals; tenants should check current instructors, costs, eligibility, and signup procedures.

Court etiquette

Call the score clearly, wait for points to finish before crossing courts, return stray balls safely, avoid unsolicited instruction, and keep cell phones on silence mode.

Safety

Wear proper court shoes and use caution around active courts; stop play and call “ball on court” if a ball rolls into play.

TENNIS RESERVATION REMINDER Tennis courts are limited and should not be treated as open play. Tenants should check the online court schedule/ reservation system or contact Verandah Club before playing.
