Court Maintenance and Etiquette
The tennis facilities should be treated with care and kept clean. Players and observers should leave with everything they brought with them into the court area. This includes any trash. The last player off the court is responsible for locking the gate. All players and spectators are expected to observe tennis etiquette. In retrieving balls or crossing courts, players will wait for a break in play.
Availability
Courts are available to all HMSTC members in good standing and their registered guests.

When others are waiting, play should cease on the hour. If a set is near completion, the players may, with the permission of those waiting to play, finish the set.
Tournament and League Play
Both are under the supervision of the Tennis Chair, Team Captain, or other designated person. Other rules may be waived during tournament or league play. Courts are reserved during team play.
