To discuss re-opening the courts

All members participated in virtual meeting to discuss how best to guide members in the proposed usage of tennis courts during the reopening.

In conjunction with GRF and the USTA rules the tennis board discussed the following: 

courts open May 5; New guidelines will be posted on line and at each court. 

Items discussed: gates will be open by spring loaded closure; how to reserve court without sign up sheet and limit of 1 hour use; no rotation of players; taping off seating options and picnic area; no ball machine; methods of players using only their own balls; no guests; board members presence to facilitate newly posted rules; masks to be worn except while play; importance of compliance so as not to lose privilege.
