EYC TENNIS COURT RULES  

11.1 Reservations for the tennis courts may be made at the Tennis Shop either in person or by telephone no earlier than two days in advance. Members may not reserve court time by making successive reservations in the names of different members of the same group. A fine of $5 will be levied against any member who reserves a court and fails to show unless the member cancels prior to the reserved time.

11.2 Minors (those less than 21 years) may not reserve Court #1, but minors may play on Court #1 if given permission by the Tennis Professional or if accompanied by an adult. Courts Numbers 2 ,3, 4 and 5 may be reserved by minors during the weekdays (except holidays) from 12 noon to5:30 P.M. Minors may otherwise play whenever these courts are available. During the evening hours and all day on weekends and holidays, minors are expected to yield all courts to adults. Those less than 16 years of age are ineligible to play in any adult singles tournament, or any member- member or member-guest doubles tournament unless playing with an adult.

11.3 Adult members only may reserve Courts Number 1, 5 and 6 for night play until 10:00 P.M., at which time the lights must be turned off promptly.

11.4 Employees of the Club and currently active teaching professionals affiliated with a club are ineligible to participate in any of the member-guest tournaments.

11.5 Members and guests are required to wear proper attire at all times on the tennis courts. The definition of "proper attire" is predominantly white tennis clothing which may be minimally embroidered, piped or decorated with other colors. "T" shirts are not considered proper tennis attire and will not be allowed.

11.6 Tennis footwear must be worn at all times. "Running" or "cross training" shoes will not be allowed.

11.7 Improperly dressed members will be reminded of the proper attire and tennis footwear rules by the Tennis Professional or any member of the Tennis Committee witnessing an infraction of these rules.

11.8 Each member is responsible for registering their guest at the Tennis Shop or at the Front Desk in the Clubhouse. A guest charge of $5.00 for one guest, $9.00 for two guests and $12.00 for three guests will be levied for use of the tennis courts each period of play.

(Please note: EYC General Rule 4.2 When accompanied by a member, a guest may use the Clubhouse, waterfront, pool, tennis or paddle tennis courts, but not for more than one day in any two-week period, unless the non-member is (1) a guest on a member's yacht lying in the harbor, or (2) a guest for dinner at the Club, or (3) a guest in a scheduled yachting event or tennis or paddle tennis tournament, in which case such use may extend for the duration of the event.)

11.9 The Tennis Professional is available during the months of May, June, July and August for individual or group lessons. Rates for individual lessons and group clinic rates are posted at the Tennis Shop.

11.10 The Tennis Professional shall supervise the use of the tennis courts, direct the scheduling of tournament play, assess guest fees and fines for no-shows and enforce all other rules set forth by the Tennis Committee. The Professional shall also determine when the courts are in suitable condition for play.
