Court Care
Before playing
If courts are dry they must be watered from fence to fence before commencing play.
During play
Courts must be bagged and watered (if dry) at the end of each competition set.
During Casual Social Play - approximately every 30 to 45 minutes.
On completion of play
Courts must be bagged and watered (when dry).
If dry, before bagging, a light watering is required to settle the dust and reduce loss of en-tout-cas.
Tennis Shoes
Correct tennis shoes are very important when playing on red porous tennis courts.
Shoes must be flat and have no raised heel.
Herringbone sole pattern and no raised heel - i.e. Clay Court Shoes as shown below.
