Sharing the Courts

As our weather (finally) starts to look like summer, more players will be vying for courts. Please remember that we share our courts with the general public:

• On Camano, we only have preference for usage of the courts from 11:30 – 2:30 Sunday-Friday, Saturday mornings, and our scheduled tournaments. The tennis groups have preference from 8:00 – 11:00 Sunday-Friday. At other times, members and other groups may need to rotate play if there are not enough courts for everyone – whether players have scheduled on Playtime Scheduler or not, and regardless of who scheduled play earliest.

• At Heritage Park, we only have preference for usage during our scheduled beginner classes. At all other times, please rotate play with other groups as needed – again, regardless of Playtime Scheduler arrangements or lack thereof.

And of course, please feel free to invite others to join you! Guests are welcome to our open play sessions; we ask them to join CSPA after three guest visits.
