Court Upkeep and Maintenance

Courts must be wet before being used. When watering courts, water fence to fence, not just the playing area. Watering to back fences is of particular importance as this area receives a lot of wear.

Note – Courts 1 and 2 do not need watering. (Clay courts)

Courts must be bagged after each set. Once again, bagging must be from fence to fence, not just the playing area. After rain, only puddles (not sheets of water) may be mopped up. Excessive mopping of courts removes the fine surface and exposes the ash beneath.

Never play on frosty courts. They must be thoroughly watered and allowed to drain before play can begin. When arriving for a game after a frosty morning, be sure to water thoroughly even though the frost has thawed.
