Tennis Shoes and Court Care

Court Care

Before playing

If courts are dry they must be watered from fence to fence before commencing play.

During play

Courts must be bagged and watered (if dry) at the end of each set. If only hitting up then every 30 minutes.

On completion of play

Courts must be bagged and watered.

 Tennis Shoes

Correct tennis shoes are very important when playing on red porous tennis courts.

Shoes must be flat and have no raised heel. Dunlop Volleys are an ideal inexpensive tennis shoe for red porous courts. They have a herringbone sole patten and no raised heel.

Cross trainers, running and gym shoes cannot be worn as they damage the court surface due to their raised heel and raised sole patterns
