**When players are waiting to play it is a first come first serve line up system. Communicate with waiting players upon arrival to find your position in the line. Sometimes players rackets will be lined up either standing against or plugged into the fence next to the entrance of the courts. If this is the case then add your racket to the end of the line and wait until your turn to play arrives. Play is limited to 1 hr only unless 4 players are on the court (doubles), in which case up to 2 hrs is allowed. Be nice, communicate clearly and if players are waiting to play, be mindful of your time to vacate the court.
