QOSTC Tennis Facility Rules and Regulations/Footwear Policy

QOSTC is extremely proud of our state-of-the art tennis facility and especially of our Deco Turf II "US Open Series" court surface! By entering the tennis facility you agree to abide by the QOSTC Rules and Regulations/Footwear Policy. Anyone not following this policy will forfeit their court time with no refund opportunity. This is a requirement of QOSTC management, staff and members/patrons that want to keep our facility beautiful.

To ensure your comfort, safety and the appearance of the Club, we must ask all patrons to abide by the following Court Rules and Regulations:

1. Tennis Shoes Only on QOSTC Courts! No other shoes including, but not limited to: cross-trainers, running, basketball, street or casual or other sport shoes will be allowed on the new courts! Surprisingly, many recreational players might believe that "sneakers" are actually tennis shoes - but they are not! Most sneakers have soles that will mark the court surface. Even if you have regularly played tennis in your cross-trainers (never a good idea because they have NO lateral movement support) please note that you will be unable to play in anything but regulation tennis specific shoes at QOSTC.

Examples of marking soled shoes that will not be allowed on our courts.

2. Please understand that all patrons are essentially paying for actual time on court. Don't request additional time from the next group, "because we are almost done and need to play just a couple more points!" Time really is money for everyone! Likewise, please don't interrupt lessons unless you have a true emergency.

3. Please arrive for your court time according to the Club Bell System and prepare to leave the court on time. A warning bell will ring 5 minutes before each hour and again on the hour.

4. Extra court time utilized will be charged as "spot time" in 15 minute increments.

5. Non-players are not allowed on the court for any reason unless as part of a special club program or at the Professional Staff's discretion.

6. Do not open air structure emergency doors unless it is a 911 emergency. In time, the structure will deflate and collapse (depending on backup generator) causing severe damage to the facility. (Indoor season)

7. Facility abuse or audible obscenities will result in court time forfeiture. Consult the tennis professional staff for any questions regarding tennis etiquette.
