Tennis Etiquette at LPTC

"We are a community tennis venue where people come to enjoy activity in a safe and pleasant environment."

Therefore we ask everyone attending LPTC to respect and support these requests:-

• 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 designed to only hit tennis balls; not the ground or a fence, so please do not embarrass yourself.
• 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.
• Have some patience.
  - 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.
