HOW YOU CAN HELP KEEP IT SAFE Don’t play if you’re sick If you are experiencing cold or flu symptoms, have a fever, or have been exposed to someone with COVID-19: stay home and protect other players. Maintain Space with your playing partner High fives and handshakes are normally encouraged but for now keep your space from playing partners. Stay at least 6 feet away at the net and during changeovers, handle your own racquet, bag, etc. Navigating the entrance Whenever possible enter the court from the doorway nearest your court. Please do not arrive more than 15 minutes prior to your court reservation and wait until the previous group has left the court. Bring your own hand sanitizer Help keep your partner and other players safe and sanitize your hands frequently.
