Etiquette
- Exercise common courtesy by returning phone calls and emails promptly
- Arrive with a fresh can of tennis balls and agree on handling of court fees/ball costs
- If you become injured or are temporarily out of town, inform your fellow players
- Play frequently, it’s better to have several shorter format matches than only one 3 set marathon during a single session
- If you cannot play for the majority of one session, inform the ladder coordinator to remove your name (you may re-join for the subsequent session). It’s better to take time off than to not play matches and move down a division
- After each session, if you do not play any matches, your name will be taken off the list for the next session unless the ladder coordinator has been contacted
