The Balboa Tennis Club

Operational Rules and Regulations
  1. All members must check in and have permits with them in order to play, if they don't have their permits they will have to purchase a $5 replacement card. All people on the court must have a day permit or be a member.

  2. Singles - One (1) hour reservation
    Doubles - One and one half (1-1/2) hour's reservation
    Court time is subject to availability. The one-hour rule will be enforced during prime time hours of 9am-11am, and 4pm-7pm, WEEKDAYS; 9am-2pm WEEKENDS. Court time decision is at the discretion of person operating desk.

  3. During prime time hours we need to know all names of those playing; only one court will be given out to each group at a time. If time passes and the court assigned appears not to be in use it will be given away to another party. No back-to-back reservations by an individual or group. Club members are allowed to be on multiple waiting lists (this increases the chances of getting a court during tournament time).

  4. Court slips may be picked up 30 minutes in advance of scheduled time, provided all players are present. Any court not picked up on the hour will be given out to someone on the waiting list. This way you will not be losing out on court time by waiting in line. If one person checks in, then the court will be held for 5 minutes. All groups must pick up or have a court slip in order to be on the court.

  5. Once your hour is up you may return to the window and see if another court is available. This will provide anyone waiting for a court the opportunity to play. Court availability is subject to change. You may be guaranteed a court; you are not guaranteed a particular court.

  6. Club members only are allowed to make reservations by telephone up to 7 days in advance. Daily permit holders must request courts in person and may not reserve a court in advance.

  7. All players on teams representing BTC must be members and have current permits.

  8. Limit three (3) balls per court. Multiple balls allowed only on courts 1 - 4, and the Stadium.

  9. Please be courteous to all players and wait until the point is over and their time is up before taking your court.
