TENNIS RULES                                        

  1. Court reservations are made via the online Tennis Court Reservation System at:  https://www.supersaas.com/schedule/Fairbrae/Tennis_Courts and are open 7am to 10pm daily.

The default reservation length is 1.5 hours and can be adjusted from 30 minutes up to 2 hours. You can book 2 hours only if there is a minimum of 2 members in the same playing group. For ball machine use, the same rule applies. 1.5 hours for 1 member and up to 2 hours for 2 members on the court.
  3. Members of the same playing group cannot reserve consecutive court sessions, but may continue to play if the next session is not reserved. There must be at least a 1.5 hour gap between reservations for a member's next reservation on the same day. Please be mindful and try to avoid making reservations that leave 1/2 hour gaps in the schedule. We encourage better utilization of the courts for all members.

  5. 2 Pickleball nets for members use are lined up along the sideline fence of court 1 and court 2 respectively. Nets are to be returned to their appropriate spot between the fence and the bench along each court after play so they are not a hazard for players when the pickleball nets are not in use.
