Court Etiquette
At Rookwood, because of the way the courts and access gates are laid out, one vital point is to avoid walking behind another court while a point is in play. Please wait until the players on court are happy for you to cross.
Please help keep play fair, friendly and safe.
Call lines fairly and clearly
Agree the score before you serve
Respect your opponent’s line calls
Be positive and encourage your partner
Avoid yelling, swearing or being aggressive
Please take your litter home or use the bin outside the courts
Give and take on both sides
Wait outside the court until a point is completed
Allow players to cross the court at the end of a point
Using the Floodlights
Evening tennis is here!
​
Courts 1 and 2 now have floodlights, so you can keep playing after dark.
Simply pay for the lights at the contactless machine on the pavilion.
​
Follow the patio along the back of the building. The payment machine is the white box on the wall at the left-hand end (see photo).
Â
Choose your court and how long you’d like the lights on, tap your card or phone, and you’re good to go.
