Our expectations at LPTC are :-

  • Please be polite.
    - No swearing or abusing (yourself or anyone else).
  • Tennis is a non-contact sport.
    - Violence (inc verbal) will result in you being banned from LPTC.
  • Do wood chopping and axe throwing elsewhere.
    - Your racquet is not an axe so please do not wield it into anything other than a tennis ball (John McEnroe style).
  • Tennis courts are not pedestrian crossings.
    - Please do not walk across other courts while there are people on them: go for your life if the court is empty.
    - If you choose to come on the court while I am playing then you might end up with tennis ball sized bruises (just kidding).
  • Care for the poor tennis balls.
    - If you hit a ball onto another court then please wait for the people on that court to stop playing before politely asking them them to return it.
  • Have fun.
    - It is amazing how much better you will play if you manage to keep a smile on your face and have a laugh when your shot goes out by a centimetre: not easy to do but worth the effort.
