At Tennis Nation Racquet Sports, we are committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for learning tennis; a sport which can be played for a lifetime. We have established the following policies which will help the club and its members all enjoy the learning experience.

Student Preparation
Students are expected to be prepared and on time for practice. (Notification ahead of time for absence or late arrival.)
Filled water bottle to be brought to class. (Half gallon jug is ideal for classes that run over an hour.)
Bring appropriate sun protection. (Sunscreen, hats, visors, and sunglasses are encouraged.)

Student Attire
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.)
Tennis shoes must be worn. If none are available, non-marking basketball shoes are similar. (Slippers, running shoes, boots and cleats are not allowed.)
If a child is dressed inappropriately, the parents will be notified, and the child will not be allowed to participate in the class.

Racquets
Demo racquets are for short term use, children need to have their own racquet to participate.
If you are unsure of what size racquet your child needs, please speak with your child’s instructor.

Parents
Parents can view their child’s class from outside the court. Parents are not allowed on the courts during their child’s instruction.
If you need information on how your child is progressing in class, please feel free to contact the junior program director.

Professional Staff
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.

Behavior
Good sportsmanship is encouraged and expected at all times, proper tennis etiquette will be taught during class.
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.
Be respectful of others. Bullying and name calling in any form will not be tolerated.
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.
Demonstrate a positive attitude. Do not use any foul language, mock, tease, argue or complain to any other player or coach.

Tournament Coaching
When Caughlin Athletic Club juniors are ready to compete in USTA/UTR tournaments, TNRS coaches will be available to help the families navigate tournament play. We will help you find the proper tournaments, and may take groups of kids to various tournaments both in and outside of Reno. Please see Kristine or Randy to get more information.

Makeup Policy
If drills are cancelled due to inclement weather, students may attend their regular drill group on a day that they don’t normally attend within that month. In the case of multiple cancellations in a short period of time we may do make-up drills on Friday afternoons from time to time.

Participation Policy
If there are two students or less present on a given drill group day, the class duration will be half of the normal scheduled time.

Holiday Class Policy
There is no class on federal holidays.
