Tennis Court Rules and Etiquette
1. Please wear appropriate attire with pocket on court. Tennis balls are prohibited to drop while playing the match.
2. Show respect to all players and neighbors at all times.
3. Do not retrieve a ball from another court while their point in still in progress. Please wait until they finish their point.
4. Always be safe. Do not participate in any behavior that would risk injury to anyone else, such as throwing or hitting balls when not asked to, throwing your racquet or any other object on or off the court.
5. Call the Score. If you’re serving, make sure to call the score before every point. This not only lets your opponent know you’re ready to serve, but also prevents score disputes later.
