COURT RESERVATIONS

• Tournament and MITL matches or practices are considered reserved court time. That means that if you are playing a scheduled tournament match, MITL match or team practice on that day, youcannot make, or be in, a court reservation for individual play.

• After you have completed any reserved/scheduled play, you may make one additional reservation for that day for any court available after 11 am.

In Season - From Memorial Day through Labor Day, doubles and singles play will generally be limited to one hour. Singles play should generally be scheduled for Court 2 only. 1.5 hour slot on weekends will only be available from 12:30-2pm on Courts 1,2 & 3 and 11-12:30 on courts 4 & 5.

Off Season- Before Memorial Day weekend and after Labor Day, 90 minutes of doubles and 60 minutes of singles will be permitted as indicated on the online reservation system.

Start of Play- If you have reserved a court and later realize that you will not use it, please cancel the reservation online or notify the Tennis Staff as soon as possible, but no later than one hour before your reservation time.

This will allow other players to use the court.

Club Rules

Most of our tennis is informal and friendly but we ask that you follow the rules governing the sport. It is the responsibility of the Tennis Pro and Tennis Staff to enforce the rules of the game and the rules of theclub. Please cooperate if they approach you and ask you to comply with a particular rule. All tennis play is guided by common courtesy, the LSC Rules of Tennis, the USTA Rules of Tennis and The Code. These rules are straightforward, and members are required to comply with them. Lack of adherence to the rules may result in uncomfortable situations for tennis members and staff, as well as for possible disciplinary action for the tennis member.
