• Social distancing is the “new normal” and should apply to everyone’s actions
• Keep sweat towels in your bag when not using them
• Keep physical distance when instructing students
• Keep hand sanitiser available both on the court and in the club house
• Encourage players to use hand sanitiser, especially in group sessions if using shared equipment such as balls, racquets or supplementary lesson aids
• Follow this Ministry of Health advice if you have any gatherings such as tournaments or social nights or fundraisers coming up.
• As an added precaution, clubs should discontinue the traditional “morning/afternoon tea” where food is shared
• Players are to exchange “good game” verbal appreciation only. Shaking hands, touching elbows/rackets are not recommended
• Players are not to touch hands in celebration with doubles partners
• New balls should be used to limit cross-contamination from multiple players.
• Towels are not to be placed on fixed objects unless sanitation can be effectively conducted before and after use
