c. Bring appropriate sun protection. (Sunscreen, hats, visors, and sun glasses are encouraged.)
2. Student Attire
a. Tennis attire must be worn at all times. Dress appropriately for the weather conditions. (On hot days wear a short sleeve shirt and shorts. On cold days dress in layers.)
b. Tennis shoes must be worn. If none are available, non-marking basketball shoes are similar. (Slippers, running shoes, boots and cleats are not allowed.)
c. If a child is dressed inappropriately, the parents will be notified and the child will not be allowed to participate in the class.
3. Racquets
a. Demo racquets are for short term use, children need to have their own racquet to participate.
b. If you are unsure of what size racquet your child needs, please speak with your child's instructor.
4. Parents

b. If you need information on how your child is progressing in class, please feel free to contact the junior program director.
5. Professional Staff
a. Every effort will be made for the same instructor to teach a class court for the duration of the season. However the club may substitute when circumstances arise which are beyond its control.
6. Behavior
a. Good sportsmanship is encouraged and expected at all times, proper tennis etiquette will be taught during class.
b. Bad behavior, language, or abuse of equipment/facilities will be addressed by the instructor on court and communicated to the child's parents after class for remediation.
c. Be respectful of others. Bullying and name calling in any form will not be tolerated.
d. Always be safe. Do not participate in any behavior that would risk injury to anyone else, such as throwing or hitting balls (when not asked to), throwing your racquet or any other object on or off the courts. None of these behaviors will be tolerated.
e. Demonstrate a positive attitude. Do not use any foul language, mock, tease, argue or complain to any other player or coach.
