SENIOR GUIDELINES (put together by senior players)

1. ALL players playing DOUBLES in our group are REQUIRED to wear face masks. If you show up without a face mask you will not play doubles with our group. This is a difficult decision to make, but there are several reasons for this decision. We realize that the mask does not prevent the user from contracting the Covid virus but it does protect others. So if you decide you don't want to wear a mask the rest of the players are at risk.

2. Also the reason we decided we need to wear and enforce this rule is that we as a group are very visible to other people and if we don't abide by this rule the courts will be closed by the city.

3. So if you decide you don't want to use a mask that's fine, but you will not be playing with our group.

4. There will be no waiting on the courts for a group to form. Wait outside with social distancing. Also when changing courts do not cross a court in play but go outside and around.
