PLAYER GUIDELINES FOR BOOKING AND PLAYING 


To ensure the safety of all players and staff we have implemented a number of changes to how you reserve and pay for a court. To further ensure your safety and meet WSNB operating guidelines, we have implemented a number of policies and procedures that have to be followed when you are inside the tennis center. We ask that you please follow all visual and verbal instructions so we can all work together to ensure your tennis center stays open and everyone feels that the AFTC is a safe place to enjoy the many tennis playing options we offer.
