Updated guidelines on playing tennis at BLTSRC | |
June 1st, 2020 | |
On 31st May, the LTA updated their guidance for tennis venues, tennis players and tennis coaches to take into consideration the easing of restrictions aimed at tackling the risk of Covid-19. | |
As a result, we have updated our guidance for members using the BLTSRC tennis courts. The new guidance (version 2)can be found here.
The club continues to follow closely the advice of the relevant national sporting body when assessing the risk to players due to infection with Covid-19. Unfortunately, currently there is no easing on the restrictions on the use of indoor tennis and squash courts.
THE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES – EFFECTIVE 1st JUNE
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS – TO BE IMPLEMENTED AS SOON AS PRACTICAL
The Tennis Committee is considering the possibility of re-starting box leagues (singles first, followed by doubles at a later date) and more information on these plans will follow soon.
BE CONSIDERATE AND KEEP SAFE
The Club is following the LTA guidance to maintain a safe environment for members to play tennis. Please be considerate to other court users - in particular, always keep the 2m distance from other players and use hand sanitiser before and after your game.
By observing the rules, you are helping to keep yourself and other members safe. We will not hesitate to act against anyone who wilfully flouts the guidelines and risks the safety of their fellow members.
We are doing our best to adapt to the ever-changing expectations and trust you will do the same – as we work together to get back towards normality, try to be patient and be kind if genuine mistakes are made along the way! |
