Please be advised on the following rules:
Coaching with the Pro:
- Inviting the Pro: Members can invite the club pro to coach their singles or doubles games from the sidelines. This means the pro can provide guidance and feedback during play.
- No Point Deductions: Importantly, inviting the pro for coaching does NOT affect Pro’s court booking points.
- Absenteeism and Substitutions:
- Singles Games: If a player is absent for a singles game, the court MUST be canceled. The pro cannot substitute in this situation.
- Doubles Games: If a player is absent from a doubles game, the pro CAN substitute as the fourth player without using any booking points.
Etiquette for Coaching Sessions:
- Ball Limit: A maximum of 6 balls should be used at a time during coaching sessions.
- Feedback Location: Players should gather together to receive feedback from the pro, rather than having the pro shout instructions from across the court.
- Ball Management: Tennis balls should be kept on the court where the coaching is taking place. This helps with organization and prevents balls from rolling onto other courts.
