Courts OPEN

COVID-19 - 22nd OCTOBER 2021 UPDATE - UPDATED RESTRICTIONS

With the recent Victorian Government’s announcement that Victoria has reached the 70% double dose COVID vaccination target, the Government has announced further easing of restrictions for community sport. Following confirmation from the City of Greater Dandenong, the Club is pleased to announce that ALL Courts can now open with the following restrictions.

Member Bookings Restrictions:

ALL Courts open. No Curfew in place - courts will remain open until normal closing times. NO spectators allowed. Only the required number of people per court is permitted, that is, 2 for singles play and 4 for doubles play. A supervisory parent/guardian may attend with their child.

Please contact tennisultd@gmail.com for more information regarding Coaching guidelines.

Competition is NOT allowed under the current restrictions.

We ask all members to adhere to your booking session. Do not overstay your booking time or move courts.

We also ask ALL Members to adhere to the mask wearing, physical distancing and record keeping practices as well as the Key Conditions for Bookings as listed below.

Return to Tennis Guidelines: Guidelines have been developed to reduce the likelihood of contracting the virus while playing tennis. Please review the guidelines which are available here: https://www.tennis.com.au/vic/news-and-events/latest-covid-updates-for-victoria. Access to the Venue is provided on the basis that you will, at all times while at the Venue, adhere to those Guidelines.

Monitoring

Please be aware that all sporting activities will be monitored by the council and other authorities. Any breaches will be the responsibility of the players involved. Non-compliance could result in the cancellation of your membership and/or booking rights as well as possible fines by government officials.

Face Masks

Face masks are required at all times except when playing on court.

Physical Distancing and Facilities

Everyone in the facility must practice physical distancing at all times by being 1.5 metres apart from one another, unless they are from the same household.

Toilet facilities and the clubhouse will NOT be open. Toilet facilities are available on the reserve.

Record Keeping

We ask ALL players to use their phone camera to scan the QR code at the entrance of the gate and fill in details as prompted by the app, for record keeping purposes.

KEY CONDITIONS THAT MUST BE ADHERED TO FOR BOOKINGS:

1. ALL bookings must list ALL the players in attendance at the courts. When making your booking, please click the Add Player button to list the full names of the players who will be playing with you.

2. Social distancing must be applied.

3. Bring your own tennis equipment, sanitiser and drink. Bring a glove or plastic bag to protect your hands when using the Pin Pad at the gate for entry or any other surfaces. No food or drink should be shared, and drinking taps have been closed.

4. DO NOT leave the gate open. DO NOT open the gate for others.

5. There is no access permitted to any club buildings (clubhouse, storerooms, toilets). Please use Council toilets outside courts.

6. Get In - Play - Get Out.

As we have previously advised, COVID19 conditions are enforceable, and both police and Council may make on-site inspections - fines may be imposed for breaches. Obviously, should Government restrictions change, we may need to change these arrangements.

We thank you for your cooperation and patience and look forward to further easing of restrictions to allow for the return of competition tennis.
