Court Etiquette

Just a reminder, our parties provide a fun and relaxing atmosphere, where players can have friendly competition. We simply ask attendees to follow these guidelines:

1. Introduce yourself to the new players on the court. This will make for a more wholesome experience.

2. Be cordial to your partners and opponents.

3. Refrain from giving instructions to anyone on the court unless they request them.

4. Do not gun for the person at the net with fast and hard hitting especially in mixed doubles.

5. Kindly pick up the balls for the server. It saves time and is just good etiquette.

6. When yo leave the court, please find the 3 balls you played with and leave them for the next group of players.

7. Do not call a ball out when you or your partner are unsure about a line call. It is unsportsmanlike and can stir unpleasant reactions.
Check USTA or other tennis websites for the official rules.

8. If you are scheduled to play the next hour, do not take more than a 10-minute break. There are players who play only 2 hours and could use the complete playtime.

This week she played tennis for 5 straight days, taking one day off to spend time with her husband, before resuming regular routine and playing at the Sunday party. She shares the syndrome with a husband, a regular from Palisades Park, whose wife is overseas for 2 months. Their spouses would be happy to know that they’re doing something healthy and fun…

LAST WEEK’S RECAP | July 9 – 15, 2012

When the first winter regular from Livingston dropped in to say hello, I was completely surprised. Then when the next winter regular from Bloomfield dropped in I was even more surprised. By the time the third from North Caldwell dropped in, I bolted out of my chair from wonder and excitement and declared – “It’s a party where players just drop in to say hello!”

Regulars returned for the Friday party this week after missing last week for a wedding in Toronto. The fitting topic of conversation was of course about weddings and marriages. And there were 4 weddings in the last 12 months. Of those, 3 Friday regulars (from Clifton, Lyndhurst and Parsippany) married women from Canada…

Last-minute decision, I joined several tennis players for wedding in Canada, that of a player from Parsippany. Gone Friday and back Sunday. It was one of the best weddings, road trips and long weekends! I’d write about it but told everyone at the wedding – “What happens in Toronto, stays in Toronto.”
