 ALTA & USTA RULES

1. These rules apply to any ALTA or USTA team utilizing the Club courts for practices or matches.

If there are more teams than are allowed by the number of Club courts, the teams shall take turns rotating their turn to use the Club courts for matches.  Teams which are not allowed to have matches at the Club courts may hold matches at other courts and conduct practices at the Club courts.  New teams organized pursuant to these rules start their rotation with matches away from the Club courts if there is not room at the Club courts.  It is the responsibility of the team captain to reserve non-Club courts for matches.  If there are more tennis teams that want to use the Club courts than the number of available slots at the Club courts and the Lilburn City Park courts, then the use of the Club courts for practice and games will go to the teams with the highest number of Club members actually participating in the team matches.
    

3. ALTA & USTA team captains must submit complete team rosters with outside member fees to the Tennis Coordinator prior to each season.  Rosters must be approved and any fees paid for outside players and annual dues for Club members shall be paid prior to the beginning of practice sessions for the ALTA & USTA season.

5. The tennis team captains shall be responsible for cleaning up courts and spectator areas after each home ALTA & USTA match.  This includes picking up trash, emptying trash cans on the courts, taking trash cans and recycling bins to the curb at the top of the driveway, returning empty trash cans and putting in new trash can liners.
    

6. The Tennis Coordinator shall establish team practice schedules for the next season prior to the final regular season match of the previous ALTA season.  The Tennis Coordinator shall establish team practice schedules as soon as they are requested to do so for USTA team.
