The Grimsby Tennis Club is open

 

Over the past two weeks, we have been in communication with Recreation Department officials regarding the changes that we might expect under Step 1 and therefore what type of tennis format we would be permitted to offer. 
 
Town officials want us to understand that government regulations require that any persons participating in a sport, must maintain a 2 to 3 metre distance from each other while playing.  At the end of our discussion, we were granted permission to move to regular doubles as long as we have our members understand the importance of maintaining the required distancing.  Our protocol has been updated to reflect the instructions from the Town.
 
Here are the changes we will see in Step 1:
 

  • Regular Doubles will be allowed without the same household restriction, subject to the social distancing rule discussed above

  • The four persons must stay on the same court for the entire match.  Switching courts is not allowed.  Switching partners within the court is permitted.

  • During the changeover, teams must switch at opposite ends of the net

 
These changes come into effect on Saturday June 12th at 7 AM.

Once your application has been received and payment has been confirmed, key pick up instructions and gigasport status confirmation will be sent to you so that you can start booking the courts.  Please ensure that your email address is written correctly as this will ensure receipt of this information. 

The club gates will be re-keyed this year.  Remember to return your 2020 key when you pick up this season’s key
