RESERVATIONS
- Reservation playing time is one and one-half hours for singles and/or doubles.
- Reservations may be made two (2) days (48 hours) prior to play. Violations should be reported to the Tennis Coordinator. Reservations must include first and last name.
- Reservation playing time is divided into one and one-half hour increments with the first increment starting at 7:00 a.m.
- Members eight (8) years old and older can reserve the courts at all times.
- Courts may be closed to regular reserve play during scheduled team lessons, team practice, tennis tournaments and social functions. Schedules will be posted in advance and must be cleared through the Tennis Coordinator.
- Each member is limited to a maximum of one (1) reserved time period per day and three (3) reserved time periods per week. Team practices, team lessons and ALTA or other League matches or practice matches are not considered to be one of the reserved times.
- Reservations not kept within ten (10) minutes are forfeited. No one can play past their scheduled time if someone is waiting, except with the consent of the waiting party.

- If a court is not reserved or is forfeited, any member may sign for that court by signing their name in the appropriate time/day slot and adding the word “OPEN.” This does not affect the reserve time limitation for that member. Members may play as many times on an “OPEN” court as desired without affecting their reserve time limitation.
- Anyone playing on a court who has not signed up a reserved court or an “OPEN” court will be obligated to give up the court.
ALTA & OTHER LEAGUE RULES
- These rules apply to any ALTA or other League team utilizing the WOPHA courts for practices or matches.
- If there are more teams than are allowed by the number of WOPHA courts, the teams shall take turns rotating their turn to use the WOPHA courts for matches. Teams which are not allowed to have matches at the WOPHA courts may hold matches at other courts and conduct practices at the WOPHA courts. New teams organized pursuant to these rules start their rotation with matches away from the WOPHA courts if there is not room at the WOPHA courts. It is the responsibility of the team captain to reserve non-WOPHA courts for matches. If there are more tennis teams that want to use the WOPHA courts than the number of available slots at the WOPHA courts and the Mountain Park courts, then the use of the WOPHA courts for practice and games will go to the teams with the highest number of WOPHA members actually participating in the team matches.
- ALTA & Other League 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 WOPHA members shall be paid prior to the beginning of practice sessions for the ALTA & Other League season.
- Each ALTA & Other League team will be permitted one and on-half hours per week for practice or lessons, beginning three (3) weeks prior to each season and running through the ALTA or League season. No instructor is required.
- The tennis team captains shall be responsible for cleaning up courts and spectator areas after each home ALTA & League 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.
- 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 teams.
- A $35.00 fee/season will be charged to each adult non-member player and a $25.00 fee will be charged to each junior non-member player and given to the Tennis Coordinator. A player may be on multiple rosters for teams playing during the same ALTA or Other League season for one fee. Team captains are responsible for coordination of the fee payment.
- Non-members may not reserve tennis courts for use at any time.
- Residents of Woods of Parkview who are social members of WOPHA or who are not a member of WOPHA may not participate on ALTA or Other League teams as non-members.
