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 you 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.

As players arrived they noticed that I had just gotten a very short haircut, fit for spring time. I replied that since I don’t have beautiful hair like those ladies, pointing to the women, it’s best kept short. One of the male players from Jersey City said he has beautiful hair but he still keeps his short. Both men and women broke into a laugh, a good icebreaker…

he Yonkers player beat his opponent from Elizabeth. I told the Elizabeth player that the good news is that the Yonkers player normally plays on Saturdays, to which he replied – “One of these days I’m going to play on a Saturday so I can beat you [Yonkers player]” and they both smiled. I love friendly rivalries…
