SAFETY NOTE 1:
This is a reminder to implement correct ball etiquette for our multi-use courts: when your ball rolls onto another court, DO NOT chase after it.

Call “ball” and the next player to serve on your court puts their paddle in the air to indicate who the ball should be passed to.

The court which has received the ball stops playing immediately, the ball is picked up and passed THROUGH THE AIR to whoever is the server needing the ball. Their point is replayed.

Do not swipe the ball off the court, or roll it on the ground and please ask who the server is. This speeds up the game for both courts and improves safety issues.

SAFETY NOTE 2:
When going to and from courts please egress via the perimeter of the venue NOT BETWEEN COURTS. Ensure play has stopped on the courts you are passing and if possible egress as a group, rather than independently, hence minimising the delay caused upon the court you are passing.

Thanks for your cooperation.
