Practicing Safety Surrounding COVID -19
SDTC has been doing a great job practicing safety and exercising caution overall. However, as the current COVID-19 numbers rise, please be mindful of the club rules set into place when we reopened.
Member/Player Rules:
1. Stay home if you are not feeling well, have cold or flu-like symptoms, or had exposure to someone with Covid-19 less than 14 days prior.
2. Play at your own risk. Practice personal responsibility and awareness.
3. Bring your own hand sanitizer or disinfecting hand wipes; glove(s) optional. The club does not provide hand sanitizer.
4. Bring your own full water bottle. Bring a small towel, paper towels, or gloves to use when touching common surfaces. One person to open/close gate. Sanitize hands after touching handles and other common surfaces.
5. Always practice social distancing by remaining 6 feet apart from others. Place personal bags and belonging 6 feet away from other player’s items.
6. Wearing of face covering is mandatory upon arrival and when moving around grounds or parking lot.
7. Do not enter a court until the previous players have exited the court.
8. Players in the same household may use one can of tennis balls. Players consisting of two households are to use two cans of unopened tennis balls that do not share the same number on the balls. Take one set of numbered balls, and have your playing partner take a set of balls form the other can, other number. Proceed with play, making sure to pick up your set of numbered balls only. Should a ball with another number wind up on your side of the court, do not touch the ball with your hands. Use your racquet head or feet to advance the ball back to the other side of the court.
9. Remove tennis balls at conclusion of play. Discard in trash bins or take home.
10. Leave court as soon as reasonably possible; no loitering or social activity before or after play. Leave facility immediately after play.
11. Use hand sanitizer or disinfectant wipes when coming off court. Shower at home.
12. Document the names of all tennis players you have played within the past 14 days to assist with tracking and tracing should a player later become Covid-19 positive.
