New Saturday Tennis Rota

Posted by angela james on 27 September 2018

AS most people will already know from Club communications,  we're trialling a new format for Saturday social sessions which will take place on the 1st Saturday of each month. It will be a different format aimed at team players, Saturday players and up-and-comers, designed to offer well-matched, pre-organised, competitive fours. We hope it will be ideal for team practice, for Saturday players and also for our up-and-coming team players.

Players will get two full sets in their allocated fours before a short-set mix-in.  

The test event  for the first Saturday Rota had to be cancelled due to the poor weather.  So the first rota is now taking place on Saturday 3rd November. This will still be used to test the format and gain feedback. 

The following rota will be held on Saturday 1st December.  There are a few rules - please see below.

To join, please email the organiser, [email protected], or add your name to the sign-up sheet in the tennis pavilion.

 

ROTA RULES

  • Sign up for three sessions in advance, or for preferred dates.  
  • Places cannot be guaranteed but will be allocated fairly across the sessions, and according to player numbers/levels. Reserve list will apply.
  • Court 6 free if rota oversubscribed.
  • Rota will be emailed in advance – and will be available to download from the Club website.
  • Once allocated a space, players are then responsible for finding a replacement of equivalent standard if they have to withdraw.  
  • Fours will each be allocated a ‘team captain’ in bold on the top of the grid. Team captains should be kept informed of any player changes.
  • Please arrive promptly for a warm-up and to start by 2.15pm latest.
  • Format will be two full sets, though discretion needs to apply if a court overruns significantly.
  • Short-set format play will follow so players can mix round.
  • Mid-week players by invite - a £3 visitors' fee will apply.
