TENNIS

Island Country Club Covid-19 Tennis – Practice Social Distancing

Phase 2 - Re-Opening

Many of the policies below are from the USTA Playing Tennis Safely guidelines. Players are asked to practice physical distancing while on court and at the club and reminded to wash hands after playing at the club. There will be some limitations and changes to our normal tennis routine so that we all can stay safe as we get back outside and play tennis again.
