SHANKILL TENNIS CLUB CODES OF CONDUCT

Behaviour

Normal Tennis etiquette applies.

In particular:
Players must not throw/bounce their rackets on the court, lean on the nets or otherwise damage the courts or facilities.

Specific Rules for Outdoor Courts

  • There is no limit to the number of bookings a member can make, but the member who books the court must play at that time.
  • Members may book one consecutive slot.

Specific Rules for Indoor Courts

  • Players may make a maximum of 4 bookings each week. The member who books the court must play at that time. 
  • Members cannot book consecutive slots, but can play consecutive slots e.g. play for 1 hour, followed by coaching or play 2nd hour with another member who has booked the court.
  • Cancellation must be at least 2 hours beforehand. Court fees will be due, if notification of cancellation is not given on time.
  • For child protection reasons, under 10s may not play in the Indoor Centre unless accompanied by an adult.

Protecting the Indoor Surfaces:

  • Shoes: Shoes must be changed on entering the Indoor Centre. These may be either specialist indoor shoes or other tennis shoes (old ones will do) kept strictly for indoor use and they must have non-marking soles. 
  • Drinks: No food or drink may be taken into the centre apart from water, which must be in a spill-proof bottle. Chewing gum is not permitted.
  • Baskets: Baskets are not allowed, as they damage the indoor surface.

Club Structure

The Club has an Executive Committee, which is elected from its members at the AGM in March every year. Details of the current committee are provided below.  In addition to the Executive Committee, the Club has a Junior Committee, a Social Committee, Tournament Committees, and an army of volunteers who help out in all areas of operation of the Club.  The office is staffed part time currently (see details above), and we also have a part-time caretaker.
