Court Condition
Pocklington Tennis Club is committed to making every reasonable effort to ensure the Club’s six courts are available for community use. However, individual users have the responsibility to ascertain whether it is safe to use the courts – factors for this include, but are not limited to, the prevailing weather conditions.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that all those involved in playing tennis are made aware of the fact that they do so in all respects at their own risk.
Before commencing play, please ensure that you are wearing appropriate, clean footwear (we recommend changing into your tennis footwear at the seating area outside of the club house) and that the court is clear of any debris such as leaves and twigs. This helps in keeping the courts in optimal condition, making the playing experience as good as possible.
