Updated guidelines and resources for your tennis club or venue
Good afternoon to the Tennis NSW family,
Firstly, we would like to thank you all for your commitment to ensuring
our tennis community has remained safe and healthy during this
challenging period. Our commitment to our guidelines and the Public
Health Orders has allowed tennis to continue, albeit in a limited form,
and this has been recognised by our Government partners.
As of this Friday, the New South Wales government have advised that a
number of restrictions will be lifted in regards to social gathering and
outdoor recreation. Core to this is the allowing of outdoor gatherings
of up to 10 people. Please note that we are still awaiting the final
Public Health Orders, so these published guidelines may be subject to
small changes and revisions once these are released.
Ahead of the new legislation being released, Tennis NSW are pleased to
issue an updated set of guidelines for tennis clubs and venues that will
be effective from 11.59pm on Thursday 14 May. You can access the updated Community Play guidelines here.
You will note that we are recommending a resumption of doubles play but
also allowing group coaching in small numbers and the resumption of
intra & inter-club competition all assuming that the Public Health
Orders can continue to be observed.
In regards to coaching, our recommendation is for a maximum of 4
students to each coach per court (or half court in the case of red ball
coaching). This has been set deliberately below the 10 persons per court
position to ensure venues can still comfortably adhere to social
distancing protocols when we factor in the attendance of parents and
guardians. We ask that you give this strong consideration when
considering the resumption of your group coaching activities.
As we start on the road back, the team here at Tennis NSW have compiled a
wide range of resources and tools to assist you and your club to plan
for your re-opening or expansion of activities across social play,
competition and coaching. These resources include the following and can
all be found on our website:
Our ongoing commitment to these guidelines and to operating our clubs
and venues in a safe and considered manner will be critical as we make
our way back from this situation. Your support will be key to ensure
tennis can return stronger than before.
If you have any questions regarding the changes we are making, the
updated guidelines or just need help in getting your club or venue open
again, then please don't hesitate to contact your Tennis NSW Club
Development Officer or contact us directly at tennis@tennisnsw.com.au.
Thank you again for all you have done so far, we are truly appreciative.
Regards,
Lawrence
