We strive to preserve a pleasant and respectful environment both on and off the court, so that all members can use and enjoy the club’s facilities to the fullest extent. The highest level of sportsmanship, courtesy, respect for others, and fair play is expected. The following are expectations to which all club members, guests/visitors, tennis professionals, and parents must adhere:

  1. Respect toward others regardless of age, gender or sexual orientation, race, culture or religion.

  2. Respect for all Club property and facilities and booking rules including but not limited to courts, nets, teaching equipment, grooming equipment, furnishings, supplies, and appliances.

  3. Inappropriate language and/or aggressive behaviour or any form of bullying will not be tolerated.

  4. Any statement or behaviour that is reasonable for an individual to interpret as a threat to use physical force that would or could cause injury will not be tolerated and may result in immediate loss of court privileges, removal from the premises and further sanctions described below.

  5. Harassment will not be tolerated. Harassment is defined as engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct that is known or ought reasonably to be known to be unwelcome and may result in immediate loss of court privileges, removal from the premises, and further sanctions described below.

  6. Members are responsible for ensuring that their guests follow this Code of Conduct and are responsible for ensuring that the guest fees are paid.

  7. Anyone who fails to follow the Code of Conduct will be judged by The Board according to the most recent approved Suspension and Expulsion policy.

  8. In the case of non-members, failure to abide by this Code of Conduct may result in a requirement to vacate the premises and prohibition from returning either for a prescribed period or permanently, on such terms as the Board of Directors shall determine.
