TENNIS COURT ETIQUETTE
The following rules of etiquette are mostly common
courtesy. Most of us know the right thing to do, we just
need a gentle reminder every now and then.
Show respect and courtesy
To your opponent(s), your partner, and others on or near
the courts. Keep your voice down and confined to your
court as much as possible so as not to disrupt players
on adjacent courts. If you get into a loud dispute with
your opponent, take it off the court and away from other
players.
Do not walk onto another court during a game
Wait for the players to finish the game, or minimally
the point, before walking onto their court. It is very
distracting to have someone disrupt a game in progress,
so if you must cross another court, do so after the game
is finished, and go around the court, not through the
middle.
Do not retrieve your ball from the other court
As with the above, it is common courtesy not to disrupt
players on court during a match. If your ball rolls onto
an adjacent court, wait for them to finish the game and
kindly ask for “a little help” to get their attention.
Under no circumstances should you run over onto their
court in the middle of a game to retrieve the ball
yourself.
Always wear proper tennis shoes
Make sure you wear tennis shoes onto the courts. The
proper shoes also give your feet the needed lateral
support when running down balls, and making abrupt
changes in direction.
Use the tennis courts for tennis
A great deal of money goes into maintaining tennis
courts, and it is not for BMX racing with bicycles or
roller hockey and rollerblading. These other activities
can damage the court surface, leaving it unplayable for
tennis players, and can result in a large expenditure
for repairs.
Close the gate behind you
Whether you’re coming onto the courts, or leaving, it is
common courtesy to close the gate behind you. This will
keep the balls inside the confines of the gate and they
won’t roll outside.
Pick up after yourself
Don’t leave empty soda cans or old tennis balls out on
the court when you leave. Dispose of any garbage you
have in trash containers on or near the court.
Monitor children on the courts at all times
Everyone who plays tennis wants to encourage kids to
play the game as well, but the kids must also follow
these rules. Since kids can tend to get distracted, it’s
up to the adults with them to assist. Stray balls,
running around and yelling are actions that need to be
managed.
Have fun!
The entire objective of playing tennis, aside from being
good aerobic exercise, is to have fun. You can follow
these rules of etiquette and still have a good time on
the courts - the players on adjacent courts will
appreciate it.
