When all courts are in use, play is limited to 1 1/2 hour of doubles or singles. Players completing play are eligible to sign up for additional play.

Tennis Court Reservation Policy:

Tennis courts are on a “first come, first serve” basis with the following exceptions:

1. USTA League teams, Interclub league teams and other organized city wide league teams that are representing TRC may reserve courts for scheduled matches.
2. Any club leagues, clinics, camps, drop in programs, etc.
3. Tennis tournaments that are run by TRC or contracted by TRC.  The Tennis Director approves all dates, times and number of courts.
4. Currently courts 10-15 are designated teaching courts at all times.  Teaching pro’s have priority – play at your own risk.
5. Members may reserve courts if they require 3 or more courts, however, they will not be the front courts during prime time, typically 8-11 a.m.  Typically, reserved courts will be the outer courts (i.e. 16-30), keeping the prime courts available on a first come, first serve basis.  Any group that does not use the courts reserved for them will lose their privilege to reserve courts.
6. Court times are limited to 1½ hour unless other courts are available.  If all courts are full a wait list will be developed for the next available court.
7. Holding Courts – you need to have at least 2 people on the court to “hold” it for the rest of your group. If you are not using the court, then please relinquish it to other players ready to play.
