Port Melbourne Tennis Club Rules of Court Etiquette

  • In the event of busy times at the courts, players are encouraged to participate in doubles games in preference to singles.
  • As a courtesy, if other members are waiting, singles and doubles players are encouraged to complete their current set only.
  • Thongs and bare feet are not regarded as being appropriate for the courts.
  • Players are required to dress respectfully in neat casual tennis clothing when on court. This excludes all forms of jeans, long trousers, bathing trunks and football clothing. A top must be worn at all times.
  • Out of courtesy to other players, movement across the back of the court is discouraged when play is in progress.
  • Dogs and furniture are not allowed on courts.
  • Current members can invite visitors. However visitors wishing to use courts more regularly than three times per annum must become members of the Club. Visits are limited to twice within 3 months. Any visitor violations may result in membership and access being cancelled.
  • During times of organised social play, participants are encouraged to mix and match the pairings.
  • In the unlikely event of a dispute, the Committee may counsel any member for improper conduct or for non-compliance with the rules of Court Etiquette.

* General court availability is outlined on our website calendar. Kindly check prior to your arrival.
