Tennis Etiquette:
• Talking and other noise should be kept to a minimum. Please be mindful of this both on the court and on your way to your court.
• When you hit a ball onto a neighboring court where others are playing, you should not run to retrieve the ball. Instead, you should wait until their point is over and then request your ball back.
• If someone else’s ball comes onto your court, it is polite to stop play and retrieve it immediately, but you may also wait until the point in progress is finished.
• Netting is provided between most of the courts but should only be used if players on adjoining courts agree to have it pulled closed.
• Please refrain from any outbursts of temper. Obscenity will not be tolerated.

Cell Phone Policy
Because we understand that cell phones are an integral part of our lives and no one wants to miss an emergency call, at this time they will be allowed on the tennis courts. However, for the courtesy of others, we do ask you to abide by the following cell phone rules:
1. Turn down the volume of your phone.
2. Answer a ringing phone promptly.
3. Take calls off the court if you need to speak on your cell phone.
Cell phones, when left on and unanswered when ringing, are not welcome on the tennis courts where others are trying to play

Tennis Supplies & Services
• Clothing and a wide range of tennis accessories are available in the Pro Shop.
• Racquets may be rented at the Pro Shop, and rental fees may be applied to the future purchase of a racquet.
• Stringing service is available at the Pro Shop.
• The MAC has two ball machines, which may be used on courts one and two. After renting the court, there is no additional charge.

Dress Code:
• Proper tennis attire should be worn.
• Shirts must be worn.
• Jeans, casual pants and cutoffs are not allowed on the tennis courts.
• Tennis shoes with white soles or dark soles that do not leave marks on the court are required.
