CANCELLATIONS

FILL INS & ROSTER
Players may get asked to "fill in" for higher division teams (or higher age band) on request, especially if they are a reserve for the week. Team Managers are in charge of preparing a roster and giving each player a fair amount of matches during the season. With teams of 5, players will "stand down" once every 5 rounds and this can be done in order (#5, then #4, then #3 etc...) or done tactically (e.g. stand down #1 player vs 'weakest' opponent). If you do not have 4 players, please let Nic know ASAP so he can organize a fill-in. 

PARENT/PLAYER RESPONSIBILITIES
Edgeware Tennis Club expects great sportsmanship, positive team spirit and good tennis etiquette from our players. Parents should also have good sponsorship, support both teams and not get involved with any on-court coaching, line call/scoring disputes. 

CLOTHING
All players must wear appropriate tennis clothing. Shoes must be trainers/sports shoes and have non-marking soles. We require all players to wear the Edgeware Tennis Club club shirt. 

PLAYING ORDER
The playing order is set by Head Coach and cannot be changed during the season, unless you are a Friday Div 1 team. 
- This CANNOT be altered by parents/players as they wish.
